The cost per unit of family planning services
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 31 July 2008
Summary
This paper presents results of a cross-sectional analysis of family planning programme costs per unit for a group of 28 countries. The costs per unit are analysed using regression techniques with variables of programme (age, scale and type of programme) and setting (demographic structure, socio-economic level of development, health, accessibility and other). The Couple-Years of Protection Index is used for standardization and the variation in personnel costs among the countries is allowed for. There is considerable variation among programmes in cost per unit. Some of this variation is explained by differences in socio-economic structure. The cost per unit, measured in US $, is considerably higher than is generally thought.
