 Private Sector DMPA-SE Market survey in Uganda
REFNo: SS3402ES

1. To map out the journey of WRA in accessing contraception in urban settings and identify critical touchpoints, pain points, and unmet needs.
2. To segment clients into distinct groups based on demographics, behaviours, motivations, and unmet needs and understand on how each group experiences the contraceptive journey and perceives available options.
