Lack Of Knowledge

Most of the studies carried out in the field of fertility ignore the lack of knowledge of the fertile period among women of childbearing age, and those that do exist are biomedical in nature, thus leaving the sociodemographic approach on the shelf. In Côte d'Ivoire, 32% of women have a good knowledge of the fertile period against 68% with questionable knowledge. Yet, knowledge of the fertile period is important for birth control and has benefits such as avoiding drug side effects, immediate recovery of fertility and its being free of charge. This study intends to use secondary data from the 2011-2012 EDS-MICS of Côte d'Ivoire to highlight the extent to which the level of unfamiliarity with the fertile period vary among women of childbearing age and investigate related factors. The findings, based on both bivariate descriptive and multiple component factorial analyses, reveal a correlation between lack of knowledge of the fertile period and variables relating to standard of living, place of residence, religion, exposure to the media, marital status, level of education, use of birth control, and the woman's occupation. Therefore, addressing these variables, would not only help control both fertility, and family planning, but also help achieve the demographic dividend.

Safe Spaces

This brief presents strategies used by organizations to adapt programs for adolescent girls (AGs) during crises. Sahel Women’s Empowerment and Demographic Dividend (SWEDD) planners and implementing partners are encouraged to revitalize and/or maintain Safe Space programming, which can be essential in maintaining contact with and supporting AGs during the COVID-19 pandemic. It is imperative that SWEDD be a driver of change by prioritizing AG and mentor safety in the context of the pandemic and other crises. The strategies described in this brief have been used to adapt AG programs such as Safe Spaces to the constraints imposed by COVID-19. Based on these experiences, recommendations are made for strategies that may be implemented during crises in SWEDD contexts. As suggested in this brief, SWEDD management units, implementing partners, ministry representatives, and technical assistance partners should consider these recommendations and how they can be useful in the contexts where they work. All recommendations can be adapted to each country and target population.
