Abstract
We examine progress towards the 1994 International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) commitment to provide universal access to sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services by 2014, with an emphasis on changes for those living in poor and emerging economies. Accomplishments include a 45% decline in the maternal mortality ratio (MMR) between 1990 and 2013; 11.5% decline in global unmet need for modern contraception; ~21% increase in skilled birth attendance; and declines in both the case fatality rate and rate of abortion. Yet aggregate gains mask stark inequalities, with low coverage of services for the poorest women. Demographic and Health Surveys and Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys from 80 developing countries highlight persistent disparities in skilled birth attendance by household wealth: in 70 of 80 countries (88%), ≥80% of women in the highest quintile were attended by a skilled provider at last birth; in only 23 of the same countries (29%) was this the case for women in the lowest wealth quintile. While there have been notable declines in HIV incidence and prevalence, women affected by HIV are too often bereft of other SRH services, including family planning. Achieving universal access to SRH will require substantially greater investment in comprehensive and integrated services that reach the poor.

Accomplishments include a 45% decline in the maternal mortality ratio (MMR) between 1990 and 2013; 11.5% decline in global unmet need for modern contraception; ~21% increase in skilled birth attendance; and declines in both the case fatality rate and rate of abortion. Yet aggregate gains mask stark inequalities, with low coverage of services for the poorest women. Demographic and Health Surveys and Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys from 80 developing countries highlight persistent disparities in skilled birth attendance by household wealth: in 70 of 80 countries (88%), ≥80% of women in the highest quintile were attended by a skilled provider at last birth; in only 23 of the same countries (29%) was this the case for women in the lowest wealth quintile. While there have been notable declines in HIV incidence and prevalence, women affected by HIV are too often bereft of other SRH services, including family planning. Achieving universal access to SRH will require substantially greater investment in comprehensive and integrated services that reach the poor.</p></abstract><kwd-group kwd-group-type="author"><title>Keywords</title><kwd>sexual and reproductive health</kwd><kwd>maternal health</kwd><kwd>ICPD</kwd></kwd-group><counts><fig-count count="3"></fig-count><table-count count="1"></table-count><ref-count count="138"></ref-count><page-count count="25"></page-count></counts></article-meta></front><body><sec id="s0001"><title>Background</title><p>A hallmark of the 1994 International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) Programme of Action (POA) (United Nations Population Fund [UNFPA], <xref rid="cit0103" ref-type="bibr">1995</xref>) was the consensus that increasing access to sexual and reproductive health (SRH), and protecting human rights especially of women and adolescents, would ultimately secure a better future for all. To achieve these objectives, ICPD affirmed the commitment by member states to make comprehensive SRH services accessible to all persons through the primary health care system by 2014. States reaffirmed that commitment in the 1999 Key Actions (UNFPA, <xref rid="cit0105" ref-type="bibr">1999</xref>), specifying the need to strengthen ‘basic health care systems, from which people living in poverty in particular can benefit’, and Millennium Development Goal (MDG) 5B reaffirmed that universal access to reproductive health is a global priority. This paper examines progress towards those goals through a review of trends in key SRH outcomes, and the use of related services over the past two decades.</p><p>Improvements in SRH outcomes have been considerable since ICPD, reflecting growing public and government support for gender equality, widespread gains in primary education, breakthroughs in communications technology, a decline in the number of persons living in extreme poverty and improvements in health systems themselves. Yet aggregate gains in SRH outcomes mask substantial inequalities, and people's ability to exercise their reproductive rights is neither universal nor equitable. While the number of maternal deaths per 100,000 live births (the maternal mortality ratio, MMR) fell by 45% over the past two decades, 800 women a day still die from causes related to pregnancy and childbirth; and while use of modern contraceptives has increased by 10% since ICPD, an estimated 25% of reproductive age women in Africa still have an unmet need for contraception (United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs [UNDESA], Population Division, <xref rid="cit0098" ref-type="bibr">2014b</xref>; UNFPA, <xref rid="cit0108" ref-type="bibr">2012a</xref>). As anti-retroviral (ARV) drugs have averted an estimated 5.2 million deaths in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), new treatment guidelines (World Health Organization [WHO], <xref rid="cit0127" ref-type="bibr">2013b</xref>) suggest more than 65% of treatment-eligible persons need care (UNAIDS, <xref rid="cit0092" ref-type="bibr">2013</xref>). Further, the celebrated decline in new HIV infections coincides with vastly unequal progress between countries (UNAIDS, <xref rid="cit0092" ref-type="bibr">2013</xref>), and rising HIV incidence in parts of Eastern Europe, Central Asia, the Middle East and North Africa (UNAIDS, <xref rid="cit0092" ref-type="bibr">2013</xref>).</p><p>The current paper examines inequalities in SRH outcomes and services both between and within regions and countries, highlighting wealth differentials in access to both skilled attendance at birth, and the use of modern contraception. National and state briefs published in this same series describe policy conditions that have enhanced or obstructed progress towards universal SRH since ICPD in diverse settings, emphasising the essential and persistent need for greater state investments, cooperation between governments and civil society, more accountability, and greater recognition that comprehensive health system investments will be needed to achieve progress in SRH at significant scale. Regional and national distinctions in SRH coverage are notable, but the overall findings underscore the persistent unmet need to increase access to services for the world's poorest women.</p></sec><sec sec-type="methods" id="s0002"><title>Methods</title><p>This review draws on multiple sources, including analyses undertaken for the Framework of Actions for the follow up to the Programme of Action of the ICPD Beyond 2014 (United Nations Economic and Social Council [UN-ECOSOC], <xref rid="cit0102" ref-type="bibr">2014a</xref>, <xref rid="cit0103" ref-type="bibr">2014b</xref>) and the corresponding summary by the same title (UN-ECOSOC, <xref rid="cit0102" ref-type="bibr">2014a</xref>); publicly available data on service utilisation (e.g. skilled birth attendance, antenatal care [ANC], emergency obstetric and newborn care [EmONC]), and contraceptive prevalence collected through the Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS) (ICF International, <xref rid="cit0039" ref-type="bibr">2014</xref>) and the Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys (MICS) (select indicators are displayed by household wealth quintiles for the survey years noted) (UNICEF, <xref rid="cit0093" ref-type="bibr">2014</xref>). Annual estimates of maternal mortality and incident cases of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are based on values collected and published by the WHO; estimates of HIV prevalence, coverage of ARV therapy and incident infections are all based on data available from UNAIDS, including their national online reports. Estimates of urban versus rural access to the management of post-partum haemorrhage (PPH) were generated using publicly available data from the Maternal and Neonatal Effort Index (MNPI) project (MEASURE Evaluation PRH, <xref rid="cit0055" ref-type="bibr">2014</xref>).

In absolute numbers, more than half a million women died each year from largely preventable causes related to pregnancy and childbirth in 1994, a number estimated at 289,000 deaths in 2013 (WHO, <xref rid="cit0133" ref-type="bibr">2014b</xref>). The MMR decreased from 380 in 1990 to 210 in 2013 (WHO, <xref rid="cit0133" ref-type="bibr">2014b</xref>), a decrease of 45%.</p><p>Declines in MMR over the past 20 years reflect advances in both clinical and social determinants, including increased use of ANC, skilled attendance at delivery and EmONC; gains in female education, delays in the age of marriage and first birth; and a decrease in mortality related to abortion (WHO, <xref rid="cit0129" ref-type="bibr">2013d</xref>, <xref rid="cit0127" ref-type="bibr">2014b</xref>). A decomposition of the progress in reducing maternal death in South Asia (SA) since 1994, for example, suggests that approximately 32% of the reduction in the absolute number of maternal deaths was attributable to declining fertility enabled by greater use of contraception (Jain, <xref rid="cit0042" ref-type="bibr">2011</xref>), a resulting lower number of pregnancies and better pregnancy spacing (Jain, <xref rid="cit0042" ref-type="bibr">2011</xref>; WHO, <xref rid="cit0133" ref-type="bibr">2014b</xref>). Vaidyanathan (<xref rid="cit0110" ref-type="bibr">2014</xref>) attributes a dramatic decline in MMR in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu from the mid-1980s to 2007–2009 to a combination of innovative financing that strengthened primary health care, and social reforms that enhanced women's empowerment (Acharya, Vaidyanathan, Muraleedharan, Dheenadayalan, & Dash, <xref rid="cit0002" ref-type="bibr">2011</xref>; Gupta, Desikachari, Somanathan, & Padmanaban, <xref rid="cit0033" ref-type="bibr">2009</xref>; International Institute for Population Science [IIPS] & Macro International, <xref rid="cit0041" ref-type="bibr">2007</xref>; Muraleedharan, Dash, & Gilson, <xref rid="cit0061" ref-type="bibr">2009</xref>; Padmanaban, Raman, & Mavalankar, <xref rid="cit0071" ref-type="bibr">2009</xref>; Ramasundaram et al., <xref rid="cit0075" ref-type="bibr">2001</xref>; State Health Society, <xref rid="cit0089" ref-type="bibr">2012</xref>; Visaria, <xref rid="cit0115" ref-type="bibr">2000</xref>; WHO, <xref rid="cit0121" ref-type="bibr">2009b</xref>).</p><p>Differences in the risk of maternal death between developed and developing countries continue to be extreme. Women living in industrialised countries have a 1 in 4000 lifetime risk of dying of maternal causes, while the comparable risk of women in the least developed countries is 1 in 51, and in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), the risk is 1 in 38 (WHO, <xref rid="cit0133" ref-type="bibr">2014b</xref>).</p><p>Among the 50 countries with MMR ≥ 500 in 1990, eight have already achieved MDG 5, target A, i.e. to reduce the MMR by three quarters between 1990 and 2015 (WHO, <xref rid="cit0133" ref-type="bibr">2014b</xref>); these countries include Bhutan, Cambodia, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Lao People's Democratic Republic, Nepal, Rwanda and Timor-Leste. Another 17 have reduced MMR by ≥ 50% but less than 75%, while 25 countries have not yet reduced their 1990 MMR by 50%. All but one of these latter 25 countries are located in Africa (the exception being Haiti), where there continues to be inadequate coverage of skilled providers and SRH services, especially in rural or remote areas and slums (Ahman & Shah, <xref rid="cit0004" ref-type="bibr">2011</xref>).</p></sec><sec id="s0003-0002"><title>Antenatal care</title><p>The percentage of pregnant women who had at least one ANC visit increased globally from 63% in 1990 to 80% in 2010, an overall improvement of approximately 30%. Similar to maternal mortality, accomplishments mask regional disparities: in southern Africa 94% of women had one ANC visit in 2010, compared to only 67% in West Africa. In Latin America, nearly all women now have at least one ANC visit (96%) and 88% have at least four (ICF International, <xref rid="cit0039" ref-type="bibr">2014</xref>; UNICEF, <xref rid="cit0093" ref-type="bibr">2014</xref>).</p></sec><sec id="s0003-0003"><title>Skilled attendance at birth</title><p>The proportion of deliveries attended by skilled health personnel is highly correlated with MMR (AbouZahr & Wardlaw, <xref rid="cit0001" ref-type="bibr">2001</xref>; Ronsmans et al., <xref rid="cit0078" ref-type="bibr">2003</xref>), and is among the strongest indicators of where health systems are able to reach women in reproductive emergencies. It is a better predictor of MMR than ANC coverage (Lancet Maternal Survival Series Steering Group, Campbell, & Graham, <xref rid="cit0049" ref-type="bibr">2006</xref>), and is a valuable indicator of health system access, indicating the extent to which acute skilled care is available to pregnant women and to newborns in a given country. The worldwide proportion of skilled attendance rose from 57% in 1990 to 66% in 2010, a gain of approximately 15% (<xref rid="f0001" ref-type="fig">Figure 1</xref>), and by 2012 had reached 69% (United Nations, <xref rid="cit0095" ref-type="bibr">2013</xref>). Despite this positive trend, access to skilled attendance remains highly inequitable between regions, countries and between women in the lowest and highest wealth quintiles within the same country.

suggesting that most developing countries are able to provide skilled care at least for women in the wealthiest households. Of the 10 countries unable to provide skilled care even for pregnant women in the highest wealth quintile, five are in Africa (e.g. Chad, Ethiopia, Guinea-Bissau, Niger and Somalia); two in SA (Bangladesh, Pakistan); plus Haiti, Timor-Leste and Yemen. In contrast, in only 23 of the 80 countries surveyed (29%), were more than 80% of pregnant women in the lowest wealth quintile attended by a skilled provider at last birth, illustrating the present shortfall in achieving universal access to skilled delivery care. Coverage for pregnant women in the lowest wealth quintile ranged from 2% in Chad to 100% in Albania, Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan; no country in Africa or SA achieved 80% coverage of skilled attendance at birth for pregnant women in the poorest wealth quintile. Other regional disparities are notable: skilled attendance was nearly universal in 13 of the 15 European and Central Asian countries surveyed, with coverage between 93% and 100% across all quintiles except in Tajikistan and Azerbaijan, where differences in coverage between the highest and lowest quintiles were 21 and 24 percentage points, respectively (<xref rid="t0001" ref-type="table">Table 1</xref>).</p><p>Among the six countries surveyed in SA, differentials in the coverage of skilled birth attendance between the lowest and highest wealth quintiles were far greater, e.g. more than 50 percentage points in Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Nepal and Pakistan. Coverage for the wealthiest pregnant women reached 90% or greater in Bhutan, India, Nepal; while coverage for pregnant women from the lowest wealth quintiles of these countries was 34%, 21% and 21%, respectively, and reached only 12% and 18%, respectively, of the poorest women in Bangladesh and Pakistan (<xref rid="t0001" ref-type="table">Table 1</xref>).</p><p>Among the 35 countries surveyed in SSA, the mean disparity between rich and poor (52 percentage points) was similar to that observed in SA, with skilled coverage for the wealthiest pregnant women above 90% in 20 of 35 countries, while the lack of coverage among the poorest quintile was particularly extreme. In 13 countries, fewer than 25% of the pregnant women in the lowest wealth quintile had skilled coverage, including only 6% in Nigeria (2013), 2% in Ethiopia (2011) and 2% in Chad (2004, with the 2014 DHS pending).</p><p>Changes in skilled care by wealth in a selection of countries since 1990 (<xref rid="f0002" ref-type="fig">Figure 2</xref>), illustrate the diversity in trends, with widening disparities in some countries (e.g. Bangladesh, Cameroon, Haiti, Nigeria and Peru), declining inequalities in others (e.g. Bolivia and Vietnam) and no change in a number of others (e.g. Philippines, Tanzania).</p><fig id="f0002" orientation="portrait" position="float"><label>Figure 2. </label><caption><title>Trends from select countries display the changing inequalities by household wealth in the percentage of women who had a skilled attendant (doctor, nurse or mid-wife) at last birth between 1990 and 2010.</title><p>Source: DHS and MICS data, as reported in UN-ECOSOC (<xref rid="cit0102" ref-type="bibr">2014b</xref>).</p></caption><graphic specific-use="web-only" xlink:href="rgph-10-149-g002"></graphic></fig></sec><sec id="s0003-0004"><title>Emergency obstetric and newborn care</title><p>Even with ANC and skilled attendance at birth, delivery complications arise in approximately 15% of all pregnancies, a majority of which can be managed if quality EmONC is accessible (UNICEF, WHO, & UNFPA, <xref rid="cit0094" ref-type="bibr">1997</xref>). Yet, EmONC coverage remains seriously inadequate in developing countries (UNFPA, <xref rid="cit0109" ref-type="bibr">2012b</xref>), and unmanaged pregnancy complications contribute to the estimated 289,000 maternal deaths each year (WHO, <xref rid="cit0133" ref-type="bibr">2014b</xref>) with millions more suffering from chronic morbidities.

Management of basic obstetric and neonatal emergencies includes the administration of oxytocics, antibiotics, anticonvulsants, manual extraction of the placenta, removal of retained products and neonatal resuscitation, while management of comprehensive EmONC includes capacity to perform C-section surgery in cases of obstructed labour, and blood transfusions. The rural versus urban differential in key components of EmONC (e.g. management of PPH) (<xref rid="f0003" ref-type="fig">Figure 3</xref>), reflect the continuing challenges of delivering services to women with structural obstacles to care (e.g. few or no transport options and poor or seasonal roads) (Gabrysch et al., <xref rid="cit0031" ref-type="bibr">2012</xref>). The recommended minimum density of basic and comprehensive EmONC facilities differs depending on the metrics used (e.g. facilities per births or per population), but given the unpredictable nature of complications, the need for skilled care that can either manage all complications, or provide timely referral to comprehensive emergency care if complications arise, is not disputed (Campbell & Graham, <xref rid="cit0013" ref-type="bibr">2006</xref>), only underscoring the continuing need to address the structural inadequacies in health systems (UN-ECOSOC, <xref rid="cit0101" ref-type="bibr">2014a</xref>, <xref rid="cit0102" ref-type="bibr">2014b</xref>).</p><fig id="f0003" orientation="portrait" position="float"><label>Figure 3. </label><caption><title>Proportion of women in select Asian countries with access to management of post-partum haemorrhage in 2005, with specific focus on urban versus rural access.</title><p>Source: UN-ECOSOC (<xref rid="cit0102" ref-type="bibr">2014b</xref>); Analysis based on data from the Maternal and Neonatal Program Effort Index (MNPI): <ext-link ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="http://www.policyproject.com/pubs/mnpi/getmnpi.cfm">http://www.policyproject.com/pubs/mnpi/getmnpi.cfm</ext-link>.</p></caption><graphic specific-use="web-only" xlink:href="rgph-10-149-g003"></graphic></fig></sec></sec><sec id="s0004"><title>Fertility decline and increasing contraceptive use obscure unmet needs</title><p>Globally, the total fertility rate (TFR) fell by 23% between 1990 and 2010 (UNDESA, Population Division, <xref rid="cit0099" ref-type="bibr">2013a</xref>). Aspirations for smaller families correspond to other changes in development, including increasing child survival and expanding opportunities for women, especially education. In Africa as a whole, and SSA in particular, fertility decline has been slower than in other regions, and despite large increases in the proportion of women using any method of contraception in the past two decades, contraceptive prevalence rates (CPR) remains low (especially CPR for modern methods), and TFRs are almost twice those in other regions (UNDESA, Population Division, <xref rid="cit0097" ref-type="bibr">2014a</xref>, <xref rid="cit0098" ref-type="bibr">2014b</xref>).</p><p>Global CPR increased from a median estimate of 58.7 in 1994 to 63.7% in 2014, an increase of approximately 8.5%. CPR in the least developed countries increased by 87% over the same period, admittedly from a lower starting point (20.7%), but reaching 38.8% in 2014. Despite these changes, overall contraceptive use remains rare in a number of extremely poor countries of Africa (e.g. in Chad, Guinea and South Sudan), where CPR is less than 10%. It should be noted that CPRs reflect the use among women age 15–49 who are married or in union, providing no data on use among single women; the importance of this limitation will increase in the near future, given that the age of first marriage, the proportion of women who never marry, and rates of divorce are all rising. Global use of modern methods of contraception (i.e. CPR for any modern method), increased from 51.9% in 1994 to 57.4% in 2012, a rise of approximately 11%; both overall CPR and CPR of modern methods increased more during the decade of the 1990s than it has since then (UNDESA, Population Division, <xref rid="cit0098" ref-type="bibr">2014b</xref>; Alkema, Kantorova, Menozzi, & Biddlecom, <xref rid="cit0137" ref-type="bibr">2013</xref>).</p><p>Global unmet need for modern contraception declined by 11.5% from 1994 to 2014; this masked dramatic declines in unmet need for modern methods in Eastern Europe (from 36.9% to 25.1%, a decrease of 32%), and Southern Europe (from 37.6% to 27.1%), a smaller decline in the least developed countries (from 33.3% to 29.2%, a change of 12.3%), and a mere 6.5% decline in SSA, from 32.3% to 30.2% (UNDESA, Population Division, <xref rid="cit0098" ref-type="bibr">2014b</xref>; Cleland & Shah, <xref rid="cit0015" ref-type="bibr">2013</xref>). In 2014, the unmet need for modern methods of contraception affects more than 30% of women in Africa, 34.2% in Western Asia and 41.8% in Polynesia; within Africa, the highest unmet need for modern methods is in Middle Africa (38%).</p><p>Differentials in modern CPR by household wealth (<xref rid="t0001" ref-type="table">Table 1</xref>) were high in several countries (e.g. Yemen, Bolivia, Honduras), but generally more equitable than skilled attendance at birth, and a number of countries from all regions have both high and equitable modern CPR (e.g. with no wealth quintile at less than 50% CPR), e.g. Columbia, Dominican Republic, Bangladesh, Belarus, Bhutan, Egypt, Indonesia, Mongolia, Morocco, Swaziland, Thailand, Uzbekistan, Vietnam and Zimbabwe. In some countries from both East Asia and the Pacific (EAP) and SA, modern CPR is actually highest among women from poorer households. For example, in Bangladesh, Bhutan, Cambodia, Indonesia, the Maldives, Mongolia, Thailand and Vietnam, women in the poorest or second poorest households had the highest CPR.</p><sec id="s0004-0001"><title>Contraceptive method mix</title><p>The diversification of modern contraceptive methods over the past 20 years has been modest compared to the expansion of new methods that took place in the two decades preceding ICPD (Brache & Faundes, <xref rid="cit0011" ref-type="bibr">2010</xref>; fhi360, <xref rid="cit0029" ref-type="bibr">2013</xref>; Nelson, <xref rid="cit0066" ref-type="bibr">2010</xref>; Power, French, & Cowan, <xref rid="cit0073" ref-type="bibr">2007</xref>). Because clients differ in their method preferences and clinical needs (including, e.g. contraindications) over the life-course, a range of distinct contraceptive method types needs to be available to allow trial and error or periodic switching, and expanded choice increases contraceptive use (Ross, Hardee, Mumford, & Eid, <xref rid="cit0079" ref-type="bibr">2002</xref>; Seiber, Bertrand, & Sullivan, <xref rid="cit0082" ref-type="bibr">2007</xref>; Stover & Ross, <xref rid="cit0090" ref-type="bibr">2010</xref>; Sullivan, Bertrand, Rice, & Shelton, <xref rid="cit0091" ref-type="bibr">2006</xref>; UN-ECOSOC, <xref rid="cit0101" ref-type="bibr">2014a</xref>, <xref rid="cit0102" ref-type="bibr">2014b</xref>).</p><p>In 1994, global contraceptive method mix was dominated by widespread use of the intrauterine contraceptive device (IUD) in China, early and almost universal use of female sterilisation in India, and the use of pills, barrier methods and sterilisation in Europe and the Americas (UNDESA, Population Division, <xref rid="cit0096" ref-type="bibr">1996</xref>). Twenty years later, these patterns have shifted within given countries, but the overall mix of contraceptive methods used has diversified only slightly, mostly by increased use of injectable methods, and to a lesser extent, contraceptive implants.</p><p>Without a choice of contraceptive methods, and quality provision of counselling, information and care, use of contraception is interrupted and unplanned pregnancies lead to an increase in the demand for abortion.

Since the outset of its family planning programme, China's family planning programme has relied heavily on the IUD (40.6% of all methods used in 2013) (UNDESA, Population Division, <xref rid="cit0097" ref-type="bibr">2014a</xref>), using domestically manufactured IUDs that have increased in quality over time (Bilian, <xref rid="cit0010" ref-type="bibr">2007</xref>; Kaufman, <xref rid="cit0045" ref-type="bibr">1993</xref>). In 2013, approximately 28.7% women relied on female sterilisation, 4.5% relied on male sterilisation, and from 1988 to 2013, reliance on male condoms rose from 3.9% to 8.5% of all methods (UNDESA, Population Division, <xref rid="cit0098" ref-type="bibr">2014b</xref>; Zheng et al., <xref rid="cit0136" ref-type="bibr">2012</xref>). Despite the rise in condom use, sterilisation (both female and male) and the IUD still account for 73.8% of all contraceptive use, and only a minority of women use other reversible modern methods, e.g. pills, implants.</p><p>The high reliance on female sterilisation in India – 74% of modern method use in 2007–2008 – has been virtually unchanged since 1992–1993 (International Institute for Population Science [IIPS], <xref rid="cit0040" ref-type="bibr">2010</xref>; UN-ECOSOC, <xref rid="cit0102" ref-type="bibr">2014b</xref>), reflecting an under-resourced public health sector, as well as a legacy of widespread public distrust of state or private sector contraceptive promotion, among other factors (see Vaidyanathan, <xref rid="cit0110" ref-type="bibr">2014</xref>), (Berer, <xref rid="cit0009" ref-type="bibr">1993</xref>; Singh, Pallikadavath, Ram, Ogollah, & Noor, <xref rid="cit0087" ref-type="bibr">2012</xref>).

Beyond condoms, male sterilisation offers the only modern means for men to assume responsibility for contraception, an explicit objective of the ICPD POA. Of 92 countries with more than two data points on the proportion of contraceptive prevalence attributable to male sterilisation (UNDESA, Population Division, <xref rid="cit0100" ref-type="bibr">2013b</xref>), and with at least one data point during or since 2005, 38 countries (41.3%) report no use of male sterilisation, and in only 4 countries does male sterilisation contribute to more than 10% of contraceptive prevalence: the UK (21%), the Republic of Korea (16.8%), the USA (12.7%) and Bhutan (12.6%). Twenty-seven countries (29.3%) have actually seen declines in the relative use of male sterilisation since 1994, including Sri Lanka (−3.7%), India (−2.4%), Thailand (−1.9%), Myanmar (−1.4%) and the USA (−0.5%), suggesting either absolute declines in use of male sterilisation or increased reliance on other methods (UN-ECOSOC, <xref rid="cit0102" ref-type="bibr">2014b</xref>; Darroch, <xref rid="cit0021" ref-type="bibr">2008</xref>; UNDESA, Population Division, <xref rid="cit0099" ref-type="bibr">2013a</xref>; <xref rid="cit0100" ref-type="bibr">2013b</xref>).</p></sec></sec><sec id="s0005"><title>Abortion continues to be widely used</title><p>Reliable, and especially comparative, abortion statistics are not easy to collect, but recent estimates suggest that the risk of death due to unsafe abortion has decreased from an estimated 69,000 deaths in 1990 to 47,000 in 2008 (Sedgh et al., <xref rid="cit0140" ref-type="bibr">2012</xref>; UN-ECOSOC, <xref rid="cit0102" ref-type="bibr">2014b</xref>). This is widely attributed to growing use of medical abortion, increasing legal provision for abortion, safer technologies and better standards for post-abortion care (Baggaley, Burgin, Campbell, & Gravenor, <xref rid="cit0007" ref-type="bibr">2010</xref>; Dzuba, Winikoff, & Peña, <xref rid="cit0027" ref-type="bibr">2013</xref>; Harper, Blanchard, Grossman, Henderson, & Darney, <xref rid="cit0034" ref-type="bibr">2007</xref>; Ngo, Park, Shakur, & Free, <xref rid="cit0068" ref-type="bibr">2011</xref>; Prata, Sreenivas, Vahidnia, & Potts, <xref rid="cit0074" ref-type="bibr">2009</xref>).</p><p>The absolute number of abortions declined from 45·6 million in 1995 to 43.8 million in 2008, of which an estimated 22 million are unsafe (WHO, <xref rid="cit0124" ref-type="bibr">2012b</xref>). The overall rate of abortions declined globally from 35 per 1000 women (ages 15–44 years) in 1995, to 28 per 1000 in 2003, but remained stable at 29 per 1000 in 2008 (Sedgh et al., <xref rid="cit0140" ref-type="bibr">2012</xref>) the latest year of available estimates. The global decline was largely driven by a declining rate of abortion in Eastern Europe, the sub-region that still has the highest rate of abortions (43 per 1000), despite CPRs that are increasingly comparable to those in Western Europe (UN-ECOSOC, <xref rid="cit0102" ref-type="bibr">2014b</xref>). The persistence of relatively high rates of abortion in Eastern Europe despite rising contraceptive use suggests that method use may be intermittent, technologies inadequate or long-standing reliance on abortion has not been amenable to rapid change. The lowest sub-regional rate is in Western Europe (12 per 1000), and an estimated 86% of all abortions in 2008 took place in the developing world (Sedgh et al., <xref rid="cit0140" ref-type="bibr">2012</xref>).</p><p>Nearly all abortions in Africa (outside of Southern Africa) and in Central and South America remain unsafe (97%) (Sedgh et al., <xref rid="cit0140" ref-type="bibr">2012</xref>), with the risk of death due to abortion being 15 times higher in Africa than in Latin America and the Caribbean (WHO, <xref rid="cit0119" ref-type="bibr">2007b</xref>; <xref rid="cit0122" ref-type="bibr">2011</xref>).

Due to population growth, the absolute <italic>number</italic> of couples affected by infertility worldwide rose from 42 million in 1990 to 48·5 million in 2010 (Mascarenhas et al., <xref rid="cit0053" ref-type="bibr">2012</xref>), and while assisted reproduction has matured as a clinical service in developed countries over the past two decades, infertile couples in developing countries have limited access to the benefits of such scientific progress (Vayena, Peterson, Adamson, & Nygren, <xref rid="cit0111" ref-type="bibr">2009</xref>; WHO, <xref rid="cit0117" ref-type="bibr">2003</xref>).</p></sec><sec id="s0008"><title>Unmet SRH needs and the rights of persons living with HIV and AIDS</title><p>In 1993, an estimated 14 million people were living with HIV, but within a decade an estimated 32 million people were infected. Governments and global aid institutions mobilised in response, but not before deaths from AIDS had reached a peak of 2.3 million per year in 2005, with HIV rising from the 33rd largest cause of disability-adjusted life years (DALYS) in 1990, to the 5th largest in 2010 (UN-ECOSOC, <xref rid="cit0102" ref-type="bibr">2014b</xref>).</p><p>In 2012 ARV therapy reached 9.7 million people in LMICs, representing 34% of treatment eligible persons (UNAIDS, <xref rid="cit0092" ref-type="bibr">2013</xref>; WHO, <xref rid="cit0127" ref-type="bibr">2013b</xref>). The percentage of pregnant women living with HIV who have access to ART reached an estimated 67% globally in 2013, contributing to an estimated 40% decline in transmission of HIV from mothers to their children since 2009 (WHO, <xref rid="cit0132" ref-type="bibr">2014a</xref>). Yet, access remains uneven: among 22 priority countries needing increased coverage of ART, 4 provide ART to less than 50% of pregnant women living with HIV, and only 5 have coverage levels of 80% or higher (UNAIDS, <xref rid="cit0092" ref-type="bibr">2013</xref>; UN-ECOSOC, <xref rid="cit0102" ref-type="bibr">2014b</xref>).</p><p>SSA is home to three quarters of all HIV-infected persons. Women aged 15–49 comprise 61% of those infected, with the highest rates of infection coinciding with peak reproductive years, ages 18 to 30 (UNAIDS, <xref rid="cit0092" ref-type="bibr">2013</xref>). Increased access to ART has been associated with a rebound in fertility desires among persons living with HIV (Maier et al., <xref rid="cit0050" ref-type="bibr">2009</xref>; Rudy, Murphy, Harris, Muenz, & Ellen, <xref rid="cit0080" ref-type="bibr">2009</xref>), and in some countries, increased incidence of pregnancy (Myer et al., <xref rid="cit0062" ref-type="bibr">2010</xref>). For women living with HIV, pregnancy demonstrates continuing health as well as confidence and investment in the future (UNICEF, WHO, & UNFPA, <xref rid="cit0094" ref-type="bibr">1997</xref>). However, tacit discriminatory and stigmatising attitudes against the childbearing of persons living with HIV and AIDS, particularly by health providers, may hinder women's ability to pursue their fertility aspirations (Cooper, Harries, Myer, Orner, & Bracken, <xref rid="cit0018" ref-type="bibr">2007</xref>; Myer et al., <xref rid="cit0062" ref-type="bibr">2010</xref>). At the same time, women living with HIV desire fewer children than do their HIV-negative counterparts, even in the context of widespread access to ART (Kaida et al., <xref rid="cit0043" ref-type="bibr">2011</xref>; Snow, Mutumba, Resnicow, & Mugyenyi, <xref rid="cit0088" ref-type="bibr">2013</xref>), leading to increased need for contraceptive methods and counselling.</p><p>Contraceptive use averts even more HIV-positive births than ART (Reynolds, Janowitz, Wilcher, & Cates, <xref rid="cit0076" ref-type="bibr">2008</xref>), yet rates of contraceptive use among HIV-positive persons vary considerably (Kakaire, Kaye, & Osinde, <xref rid="cit0044" ref-type="bibr">2010</xref>; Polis et al., <xref rid="cit0072" ref-type="bibr">2011</xref>; Snow et al., <xref rid="cit0088" ref-type="bibr">2013</xref>), and unmet need for contraception remains high: in Uganda, nearly 75% of sexually active men and women living with HIV wanted no more children but were not using a condom or other contraceptive (Nakayiwa et al., <xref rid="cit0063" ref-type="bibr">2006</xref>).</p><p>Current WHO guidelines for contraceptive use by women living with HIV and AIDS (WHO, <xref rid="cit0125" ref-type="bibr">2012c</xref>) allow all methods except the IUD, and also strongly recommend dual protection – a condom and another method. However, certain classes of ART (Mascarenhas et al., <xref rid="cit0053" ref-type="bibr">2012</xref>), including non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs) and protease inhibitors, in addition to Rifampicin, an anti-tuberculosis (TB) drug (TB is a common co-morbidity in HIV and AIDS), interact with hormonal contraceptives and potentially reduce their efficacy (Coll, Lopez, & Hernandez, <xref rid="cit0016" ref-type="bibr">2008</xref>; WHO, <xref rid="cit0125" ref-type="bibr">2012c</xref>). Concerns over a possible role of progestin-only injectable contraception, i.e. depot medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA), in HIV acquisition have not abated, but demand more and better research (Heffron et al., <xref rid="cit0037" ref-type="bibr">2012</xref>; The Lancet Infectious Diseases <xref rid="cit0037" ref-type="bibr">2012</xref>; Morrison et al., <xref rid="cit0059" ref-type="bibr">2010</xref>). Assisted reproductive technologies for persons living with HIV and AIDS, particularly HIV-discordant couples, are not widely available in developing countries (Lampe, Smith, Anderson, Edwards, & Nesheim, <xref rid="cit0048" ref-type="bibr">2011</xref>; Matthews & Mukherjee, <xref rid="cit0054" ref-type="bibr">2009</xref>; Van Leeuwen, Repping, Prins, Reiss, & Van Der Veen, <xref rid="cit0142" ref-type="bibr">2009</xref>). Therefore, irrespective of whether women living with HIV desire additional children or not, the weak integration of HIV and SRH services in many countries constrains access to much-needed counselling, technologies and support.</p></sec><sec id="s0009"><title>Young people living with HIV/AIDS are especially vulnerable</title><p>While HIV and AIDS services have not fully addressed the SRH needs of HIV-affected women, they are even less adequate for adolescents and youth living with HIV and AIDS who may not be welcome in either paediatric or adult services (UNFPA, <xref rid="cit0106" ref-type="bibr">2009</xref>). Young people, infected or otherwise affected by HIV and AIDS, face greater challenges than adults with adherence, accessing routine care, and managing disclosure, and require tailored clinical and social support. HIV-affected youth are increasingly recognised to be at increased risk of psychiatric and psychological disorders (Benton & Ifeagwu, <xref rid="cit0008" ref-type="bibr">2008</xref>; Havens & Mellins, <xref rid="cit0035" ref-type="bibr">2009</xref>) due to the complexity of health and social stresses with which they are coping, including a greater likelihood of parental illness, orphanhood, poverty and lack of social protection, HIV-related co-morbidities, difficulties accessing health and social welfare services and the burden of managing a chronic disease from a young age. Developing comprehensive and integrated adolescent SRH services that include support for HIV-affected youth is a global priority.</p></sec><sec id="s0010"><title>The persistent fragility of health systems obstructs progress</title><p>For numerous countries reviewed in <xref rid="t0001" ref-type="table">Table 1</xref>, the distributions of skilled attendance and modern CPR by household wealth were characterised by two striking patterns: in Eastern Europe and Central Asia, almost universal skilled birth attendance coincided with almost universally low CPR (e.g. see Albania, Azerbaijan, Bosnia and Herzegovnia, Macedonia); while in EAP, and SA, modern CPR was more equitably distributed by wealth than skilled attendance for pregnant women.</p><p>In EAP, and SA, access to skilled birth remains highly skewed by wealth, while modern contraceptives are used by many women living in the poorest households. This suggests not only that demand for contraception is comparatively high in the region, but also that investments in family planning delivery, admittedly easier to provide, have outpaced those to ensure life-saving delivery care. These contrasts are especially stark in Bhutan, Nepal and India, where modern CPR was 69%, 36% and 35%, respectively, among women living in the lowest wealth quintile, while skilled attendance reached only 34%, 21% and 21%, of pregnant women in this quintile.</p><p>In Bangladesh, early emphasis on family planning led to dramatic declines in both TFR and the unmet need for contraception, and CPR is highly equitable across wealth quintiles (<xref rid="t0001" ref-type="table">Table 1</xref>). Jahan and Afsana (<xref rid="cit0138" ref-type="bibr">2014</xref>) describe how ICPD led to gradual expansion of programmes to address other dimensions of reproductive health, but the persistent weakness of the health system has hindered progress in providing skilled delivery care, which is accessible to only 12% of women in the lowest wealth quintile (Afsana & Wahid, <xref rid="cit0003" ref-type="bibr">2013</xref>; ICDDR, B & Center for Reproductive Health, <xref rid="cit0038" ref-type="bibr">2012</xref>; Khan, Jahan, & Begum, <xref rid="cit0046" ref-type="bibr">1986</xref>; NIPORT, MEASURE DHS, & ICDDR, B, <xref rid="cit0069" ref-type="bibr">2011</xref>; NIPORT, Mitra Associates, & ICF International, <xref rid="cit0070" ref-type="bibr">2011</xref>; Rochat et al., <xref rid="cit0077" ref-type="bibr">1981</xref>; Sen, <xref rid="cit0083" ref-type="bibr">2013</xref>).</p><p>Bangladesh is far from alone, as fewer than 55% of women in SSA deliver with a skilled birth attendant (Ngo et al., <xref rid="cit0068" ref-type="bibr">2011</xref>). The need for sustained attention to building health systems that can provide skilled delivery care to poor women is evident across numerous countries, especially in Africa and SA. Among 49 countries with the lowest per capita income, for example, only 5 meet the minimum WHO thresholds for health worker density, and in the 58 countries where 91% of all maternal deaths occur, it is estimated that 20% of maternal deaths could be averted if the current number of trained midwives was doubled (UNFPA, <xref rid="cit0107" ref-type="bibr">2011</xref>; WHO, <xref rid="cit0126" ref-type="bibr">2013a</xref>).</p><p>While actions are needed in the short term to redress these shortfalls, they should be designed within a framework of long-term commitments to strengthen the quality, integration and capacity of health systems, including critical dimensions of infrastructure such as human resources for SRH (WHO, <xref rid="cit0120" ref-type="bibr">2009a</xref>, <xref rid="cit0130" ref-type="bibr">2013e</xref>), medical records systems that allow for continuity of care (AbouZahr & Wardlaw, <xref rid="cit0001" ref-type="bibr">2001</xref>; Allen et al., <xref rid="cit0006" ref-type="bibr">2007</xref>; Forster et al., <xref rid="cit0030" ref-type="bibr">2008</xref>; Ginsburg, Hoblitzelle, Sripipatana, & Wilfert, <xref rid="cit0032" ref-type="bibr">2007</xref>), health management information systems (HMIS), commodity security and health financing for SRH services (WHO, <xref rid="cit0131" ref-type="bibr">2013f</xref>). Attention to continuity of care is especially needed, given the rapid pace of urbanisation, increasing internal mobility, especially by young people, and the interdependence of pre-pregnancy, maternal, child and long-term health. A study of prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV (PMTCT) programmes in 18 countries found that only 9% of infants born to HIV-positive mothers could be identified at their first immunisation visit (Ginsburg et al., <xref rid="cit0032" ref-type="bibr">2007</xref>), highlighting the absence of medical records systems that could be linked between health facilities (Forster et al., <xref rid="cit0030" ref-type="bibr">2008</xref>). Emerging technologies including mobile phones hold promise for linking people to better SRH care, and efforts to integrate rural and urban, community and hospital, primary and referral health care via Internet- and phone-based communication systems are evolving rapidly (WHO, <xref rid="cit0122" ref-type="bibr">2011</xref>), offering a possibility for under-resourced health systems to connect remote providers and patients to centres of SRH excellence. (See Sen & Govender, <xref rid="cit0084" ref-type="bibr">2014</xref>, for a more thorough discussion of health system strengthening.)</p><p>Donor assistance to population and SRH was estimated at 12 billion US dollars per annum in 2011, with 66% of these funds directed to HIV/AIDS activities (UN-ECOSOC, <xref rid="cit0102" ref-type="bibr">2014b</xref>). A recent analysis of the impact of HIV donor aid per capita on maternal and child health service provision across SSA from 2003 to 2010 suggests only marginal gains for SRH from HIV-directed aid, and only in the most under-resourced health systems where the HIV burden was not high (Mellins et al., <xref rid="cit0056" ref-type="bibr">2011</xref>). In this paper comparing maternal and child health service indicators with HIV disbursements from the previous year, HIV development assistance was associated with no measurable gains in ANC coverage, except in health systems where HIV prevalence and health worker densities were lowest. Illustrating these very challenges at country level, Nigeria has shown extraordinary success in bettering access to AIDS-related therapy (see Ahonsi, <xref rid="cit0005" ref-type="bibr">2014</xref>), but these investments have not contributed to increasing public access to other SRH services, and few of the successful, NGO-led SRH service projects scattered across Nigeria have received the requisite federal funding to take them to scale (British Council & UKaid, <xref rid="cit0012" ref-type="bibr">2013</xref>; Cooke & Tahir, <xref rid="cit0017" ref-type="bibr">2013</xref>; Esiet & Whitaker, <xref rid="cit0028" ref-type="bibr">2002</xref>; Mandara, <xref rid="cit0052" ref-type="bibr">2012</xref>; Mellins et al., <xref rid="cit0056" ref-type="bibr">2011</xref>; National Agency for the Control of AIDS, <xref rid="cit0064" ref-type="bibr">2013</xref>; National Population Commission & UNFPA, <xref rid="cit0065" ref-type="bibr">2013</xref>; Shittu et al., <xref rid="cit0085" ref-type="bibr">2010</xref>;WHO, <xref rid="cit0133" ref-type="bibr">2014b</xref>).</p></sec><sec id="s0011"><title>Research and knowledge systems improved but still seriously inadequate</title><p>A challenge after ICPD was how to improve SRH in countries that lacked reliable information on SRH needs – a lack of data that was especially striking in the poorest, and therefore many of the highest burden countries. A singular achievement since ICPD has been the improved scope and quality of available SRH epidemiologic and behavioural data from developing countries, due to expansions in the topics covered by DHS surveys, supplemented by the MICS, as well as growth in the network of demographic surveillance sites (UN-ECOSOC, <xref rid="cit0102" ref-type="bibr">2014b</xref>). But despite gains in available knowledge, national capacity for the effective use of these data for planning and programme evaluation remains weak.</p><p>In addition, SRH data are inadequate for monitoring quality and holding governments accountable for several dimensions of SRH, including the accurate diagnosis and surveillance of STIs; balanced contraceptive method mix; integrated SRH care for HIV-affected persons, especially for adolescents and youth; and continuity of SRH care, especially for rural residents and the poor.</p></sec><sec id="s0012"><title>Outstanding needs</title><p>Maternal mortality and HIV/AIDS-related outcomes have seen comparatively better progress than other dimensions of SRH in the past two decades, accomplishments that reflect targeted commitments by national governments and donors to meet the MDGs, and large investments in programming to stem the AIDS crisis. Such progress illustrates the level of achievements that are possible with a combination of targeted activism, funding and global accountability structures.</p><p>Yet inadequate coverage of skilled birth attendance and low contraceptive use for women from the poorest households, particularly in Africa and Asia, as well as weaker progress in other dimensions of SRH care, underscore the need to further strengthen access, comprehensiveness, integration and quality of SRH prevention and care for all persons. Aggregate progress in reducing MMR and HIV/AIDS has coincided with very limited success in strengthening the global response to STIs, and current capacity for diagnosis, treatment and surveillance of these and other SRH morbidities remains weak. The difficulties of providing fertility counselling and services, as well as long-term care for HIV-affected mothers and their infants, and young people living with HIV, highlight the continuing need to better integrate HIV and AIDS and SRH prevention and care, and to invest in medical records and HMIS that will enable providers to respond effectively to synergistic SRH needs over a lifetime.</p><p>An adequate number and rational distribution of skilled SRH health workers, especially those with midwifery skills that can address almost all SRH services, are essential to meeting these needs, and must be complemented by heightened investments to ensure a vibrant SRH knowledge sector, serving both government and civil society policy-making, planning and accountability. The need for improved health systems that provide all persons with comprehensive and integrated SRH prevention and care is no less urgent today than in 1994, and remains pivotal to fulfilling commitments of the ICPD and the Key Actions for Further Implementation.</p></sec></body><back><ack><title>Acknowledgements</title><p>This work was carried out with the aid of a grant from Canada's International Development Research Centre.
