Post-Partum Family Planning (PPFP) plays a crucial role in preventing unintended and closely spaced pregnancies following childbirth. Although over 90% of women wish to delay pregnancy for at least two years postpartum, a significant number are not using contraception. Short birth intervals, especially those under 12 months, are linked to adverse outcomes such as preterm birth, low birth weight, and increased child mortality. As fertility can return unpredictably- often before menstruation resumes- early postpartum contraception is essential.

The goal is to support women in initiating and continuing a suitable contraceptive method for two years or longer, aligned with their reproductive intentions.
