“…As such, family planning activity has not evolved into a global development plan. It was originally centred on women without taking into account either their reproductive health wishes (Sala-Diakanda, 2000) or the constraints of the physical environment (Gauthier, 2002). With a population growth rate of 2.8%, the country's population has increased five-fold over the past five decades (estimated at 70 million), depriving the population of the socioeconomic benefits of controlled fertility.…”

Disparities in Modern Contraception Use Among Women in the Democratic Republic of Congo: A Cross-Sectional Spatial Analysis of Provincial Variations Based on Household Survey Data

This study investigates inequalities at the province level of the use of modern contraception and the proportion of short birth intervals among women in the DRC using data from the 2007 Demographic and Health Survey. Logistic regression and Bayesian geo-additive models were used. The posterior odds ratio and the associated 95% credible interval (95% CI) were estimated using Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) techniques. Posterior spatial effects were mapped at the province level with the associated posterior probability maps showing statistical significance at 5%. The overall rates of modern contraception use among the entire sample of women (15-49 years old; N = 7172) and youth (15-24 years old; N = 1389) were 5.7% and 6.0% respectively. However, there was striking variation in contraceptive use between the two groups across provinces with a clear east-to-west gradient. The highest use in the total sample was in Nord-Kivu (OR 1.32; 95% CI 1.12, 1.55) and Bas Congo provinces (1.47; 1.22, 1.78). For the youth, the highest use was observed in Nord-Kivu (1.19; 0.92, 1.65). In multivariate Bayesian geo-additive regression analyses among the entire sample of women, factors consistently associated with lower use of modern contraception were living in rural areas (0.71; 0.62, 0.82), living in low-income households (0.67; 0.54, 0.80) and having no education (0.83; 0.67, 0.97). For the youth sample, living in low-income households (0.57; 0.41, 0.84) and no breast-feeding (0.64; 0.47, 0.86) were consistently associated with a lower use of modern contraception. The study shows a distinct geographic pattern in the use of modern contraception in youth and the entire sample of women in the DRC, suggesting a potential role for socioeconomic factors, such as accessibility, affordability and availability, as well as environmental factors at the province level beyond individual-level risk factors.

“…Si le caractère informel et non régulé de la transition contraceptive n'a pas empêché la rapidité des changements, on peut dire que la soumission aux lois de l'offre et du marché a eu des conséquences néfastes en termes de santé reproductive et, plus largement, de droits reproductifs (Gautier, 2002) : le taux excessif de césariennes à l'accouchement et le maintien d'un niveau de mortalité maternelle relativement élevé en témoignent. Le paradoxe d'un avortement toujours interdit, mais largement pratiqué selon les lois du marché (comme dans toute l'Amérique latine) traduit la pauvreté des options proposées aux femmes.…”

“…Critical scholarships have highlighted how this shift in global discourse from a population control approach to reproductive rights was rather rhetoric than effective (Gautier 2002;Hodgson and Watkins 1997), and that FP initiatives in the Souths largely remained grounded in the theory established by Malthus: "Proposing birth reduction among the global poor as a solution to various global crisis phenomenafrom poverty, economic recession, migration and patriarchal systems to ecological destruction-and thus blaming the poor rather than, for instance, inequality, is typical of neo-Malthusianism" (Bendix and Schultz 2018, p. 260). In fact, as decried by Hartmann among others, the inverse discourse that a better distribution of resources (improvements in living standards) and power (improvements in the position of women) could bring about population change was seldom voiced or heard (Hartmann 2016).…”

Reproductive Governance in a Fragile and Population-Dense Context: Family Planning Policies, Discourses, and Practices in Burundi

2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This article describes the reproductive governance deployed in Burundi, which promotes fertility control through uptake of modern contraceptives as a solution to the economic hardship and land pressure of individuals and communities. Using a qualitative approach, we explore how women and couples in rural Burundi set their preferences, choices and practices of family planning, and how they relate with the government discourse. We describe how reproductive practices are complex and modulated by social and material factors and power dynamics. We argue that the current hegemonic discourse—largely supported by external donors—adopts a depoliticised and technocratic approach to family planning that aligns with neoliberal development frameworks, leaving existing power dynamics and resources distribution issues unexamined and unaddressed. By situating reproductive navigation in context, we show how medicalisation of reproduction is not fully enacted, and partly resisted by women and other actors.
