Date of Publication 2004
The Contraceptive Security Index is a tool for measuring and monitoring a country's level of contraceptive security. It consists of 17 indicators—such as poverty level, method mix, and forecasting ability—that cover the primary components of contraceptive security (supply chain, finance, health and social environment, access, and utilization). The indicators can be used separately to monitor progress in each component. They are also aggregated to establish a composite index to compare countries at a point in time or to monitor progress over time within a country. DELIVER has published a wall chart and a booklet of the Index, which rates 57 countries.
