Abstract
Uganda has one of the highest annual population growth rate in the world, at 3 percent, with a Total Fertility Rate of 6.2 children per woman as of 2014. The Uganda Demographic and Health Survey of 2011 showed that only 26% of currently married women use modern contraception and 34% have an unmet need for family planning. Most cross sectional estimates of unmet need do not allow determination of within-individual changes over time in women’s contraceptive needs, and its determinants. Understanding and monitoring need for contraception and its adoption by those in need are important for health and development planning
