The effect of a sexual and reproductive health programme on socio-economic and education-related inequities in the use of modern contraceptives in seven sub-regions in Uganda: a case of RISE programme 2019–2023
Although the change in outcome cannot be attributed solely to the RISE program, the findings suggest a decrease in socio-economic and educational inequities across the selected equity dimensions. However, there was no significant change in the mCPR, which suggests that low contraceptive use remains a persistent issue. This situation requires more targeted programs to ensure that no one is left behind in the pursuit of Universal Health Coverage (UHC).
