Contraceptive Security
Contraceptive security exists
when every person is able to choose, obtain, and use
quality contraceptives and condoms for family planning
and for HIV/AIDS prevention. USAID strives to ensure
clients have long-term access to a range of high quality
contraceptives, condoms, and other essential health
supplies in several ways. We invest resources to improve
distribution and availability, to promote quality in
product, and to support commodities distribution across
all sectors - public, private, and non-governmental
- in the countries where we work.
