Background
MDG5, Target B indicator (MDG # 5.6)
Studies indicate that unwanted pregnancies pose greater risk
How to define unmet need?
• Women with an unmet need for family planning are women who – are married or in union– are fecund – not using any method of contraception – report not wanting any more children or wanting
to delay the birth of their next child for at least two years

We also consider the following to have unmet need:
• Women* who are pregnant, but whose current pregnancy unwanted or mistimed
• Postpartum amenorrheic women* (not using contraception) whose last birth was unwanted or mistimed
*Married/in union
