While contraceptive use is globally recognized as a key pillar
in the improvement of maternal and child health [1, 2],
Uganda still reports poor contraceptive use indicators [3–6].
It is estimated that, of 3 million pregnancies that occur annually
in the country, 56%are unintendedwith 30%resulting in
abortions [7]. Unwanted pregnancies and high incidences of
unsafe abortions contribute to high maternal morbidity and
mortality (435/100,000 live births), high fertility rates, and
other pregnancy related complications [4]. The high fertility
rates with the associated high annual population growth are
said to be outpacing the existing resources, contributing to
endemic poverty and poor service delivery in the country
[8, 9].
