Contraceptive Supplies Working Group

We improve access to a wide range of contraceptive supplies by facilitating collaboration and partnership.

Through this forum, members can share critical issues threatening contraceptive security, align on tangible next steps, and leverage collective action. Here, we improve approaches to accelerating access: data visibility, strengthened systems, opportunities for market development and private sector partnership, and advocacy and accountability.

What we do

The Contraceptive Supplies Working Group (CSWG) supports country-level efforts to achieve universal access to reproductive health services and products and, ultimately, reduce unwanted pregnancy and maternal mortality and morbidity. 

Financing & Domestic Resource Mobilization

In response to an urgent need to diversify the funding base for contraceptive supplies, group members develop advocacy messages, generate evidence on the return on investment in contraceptive supplies, and develop tools to improve the contraceptive financing ecosystem.

Expanding Product Choice

Choice is central in access. We partner to improve clients’ choice of available contraceptives. The working group facilitates information sharing around common barriers and challenges to product introduction and scale-up, and new contraceptive methods.

Advocacy & Political Will

Cultivating political will plays a crucial role in ensuring that contraceptives are funded, procured, and available. The advocacy resources we develop communicate the importance of investing in contraceptive supplies for clients, communities, and economies.
