High Impact Strategies to
Reach 2022 NOH Target
To reach the NOH target, the
National Family Planning Program
identified five priority strategies,
that based on global evidence, are
considered high impact practices
in FP and proven to generate
better growth in mCPR. These
strategies were included in the
Program’s Costed Implementation
Plan (CIP) for FP 2019-2022.

enhancements in data collection and validation
will need to be prioritized to ensure data accuracy
and reliability for program planning and decisionmaking.
Based on the modeled estimates from the Family
Planning Estimation Tool (FPET)22, the mCPR for
all women in 2019 is projected at 27.7 percent or
around 7.8 million women modern FP users. As a
result of contraceptive use in 2019, it is estimated
that 2.8 million unintended pregnancies, 669,000

FPET is a statistical modeling used by the United Nations
Population Division (UNPD) that draws from 194 countries and areas
worldwide. FPET was adapted to work with a single country at a time
and to accept service statistics as well as survey data to establish trends.
It was developed by the Track20 Project (implemented by Avenir Health
Inc.) for the FP2020 focus countries.
Note that in the previous RPRH Report, the indicator used for abortion
is the total estimated abortions in the country which include spontaneous abortions.
The FP Goals model was used to
strategically select cost-effective
interventions among the list of
high impact practices in FP. The
model estimates the impact of
introducing or scaling up various
FP interventions in the country’s
mCPR based on the change in
coverage (from the baseline to the
end line) and the odds ratio for the
intervention. The higher the odds
ratio, the more likely that exposure
to the intervention will lead to
increase in mCPR.
The model combines the demographic data,
status of FP programming, and evidence of the
effectiveness (odds ratio) of various interventions
in FP to help the Program set realistic goals and
prioritize investments across the wide range of FP
interventions. If all interventions and scale-ups
are in place by 2022, the FP Goals estimated a
total potential growth in mCPR of around seven
percentage-points or an mCPR among all women
of 32 percent by 2022.
The model is also tailored to the demographic
situation in the country and its regions. This
means that the impact of an intervention will vary
by region. The graph above shows the estimated
