The Impact

While access to and uptake of modern family planning (FP) in Ghana has steadily risen over the last decade, the modern Contraceptive Prevalence Rate (mCPR) among all women reached only 22% in 2019 with 30% of women still reporting unmet need. To increase FP uptake via mitigation of cost barriers among women with unmet need, the Government of Ghana is seeking to integrate claims-based FP services into the National Health Insurance Scheme benefits package. The impact of these activities has the potential to be significant with the proportion of women accessing modern FP shifting dramatically to public facilities over the past decade. The Ghana Ministry of Health, the National Health Insurance Authority, Marie Stopes International Ghana, and the Population Council launched a pilot in nine districts from 2018–20. This report uses data from pilot activity to model four scenarios involving implementation of cost removal, demand generation, and long-acting reversible contraceptives training to estimate impact on mCPR. These are input into the Health Policy Project’s ImpactNow tool to obtain estimates of health and economic benefits, intended to inform decisions regarding scale-up of these activities across the country.
