On September 26, 2013, World Contraception Day draws attention to the fact that more than 222 million women in the developing world say they want to delay or avoid pregnancy but are not using a modern method of contraception. Enabling couples to determine whether, when, and how often to have children has profound health, economic, and social benefits for families and communities. As the world’s largest bilateral donor of family planning, USAID is committed to expanding access to affordable, high-quality family planning information, commodities and services.
