This is a multi-country cross-sectional study that will use mixed methods to better understand the extent to which women of reproductive age have intention to use modern contraception, what barriers and enablers exist, and what practices would support them to voluntarily adopt a modern contraceptive method. The study will take place in four countries i.e., Senegal, CĂ´te d'Ivoire, Nigeria, and Pakistan, each with an adapted quantitative tool that will be administered to women of reproductive age and to men who live in their households. Qualitative data collection will be used to better understand the results of the quantitative survey. The study aims to identify the proportion of women who have the intention to use family planning but are not currently using modern contraceptive methods and to determine why women with FP intent are not adopting modern contraceptive methods. Further it will also assess the characteristics of women who show intention-action gaps, and the interventions that enable them to adopt a modern contraceptive method. The findings of this study will support on-the-ground programs in identifying which population segment a woman might belong to. The research will address its objectives by addressing the following research questions: 1. Who has the intention to use family planning but is not currently using modern contraceptive methods? 2. Why are women with FP intent not adopting modern contraceptive methods? Which methods are preferred, accessed, and intended? 3. Who should be targeted to diminish intention-action gaps, and how? 4. How can on-the-ground programs identify which population segment a woman might belong to?
