Sierra Leone’s policy environment is generally conducive to and supportive of family planning. General health sector policies and strategies identify the improvement of maternal health outcomes and reduction of teenage pregnancy as priorities. Health sector policies identify family planning as a high-impact intervention and highlight its integration into mainstream government systems. The policies also recommend resource allocation to emphasize preventive and primary health care including family planning. An ambitious national target is also set to meet over 90 per cent of the family planning demand by 2030.
