Unintended and unwanted pregnancies remain a serious public health concern globally, with the Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) and Asia regions disproportionately affected. Births following unwanted or unintended pregnancies are associated with adverse social and health outcomes for the mother and the child’s growth and development challenges. Most unintended pregnancies occur among adolescents and young women who have a high level of unmet modern contraceptive needs.
