Statistical concept and methodologyMethodology: This indicator is calculated from nationally-representative household survey data. Relevant data for this indicator are collected through various multi-country survey programs, including Contraceptive Prevalence Surveys (CPS), Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS), Fertility and Family Surveys (FFS), Reproductive Health Surveys (RHS), Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys (MICS), Performance Monitoring and Accountability 2020 surveys (PMA), World Fertility Surveys (WFS), other international survey programs, and national surveys. Data compilation involves systematic searches of websites of international survey programs, survey databases (e.g., the Integrated Household Survey Network (IHSN) database), websites of national statistical offices, SDG national reporting platforms, and ad hoc queries. Additionally, country-specific information from UNFPA country offices is utilized.
