In 2008, demand for contraception in Bangladesh
continued to increase and for the first time, the contraceptive prevalence rate decreased – from
58.1 per cent (2004) to 55.8 per cent (2007).
Why was this happening?
A weak supply chain meant that contraceptives were not
consistently available.
When clients leave clinics without contraception,
they often don’t return.
This is what the Family Planning Association of Bangladesh (FPAB) did about it.
