Doing Things Differently: What It Would Take to Ensure Continued Access to Contraception During COVID-19

Abstract

<h3>Key Messages</h3> COVID-19 may fundamentally change women’s contraceptive use, thus altering the range of supplies that will be required in the near term. Policy makers will need to consider country realities and explore service delivery adaptations to meet these changing needs. Existing data can quantify potential shift in contraceptive use to help inform decisions. Donors, policy makers, and program planners may need to revisit supply plans and the use of financing to ensure that contraception is effectively sustained.
