Up take of family planning services can be enhanced, more successful and sustainable if multifaceted determinates included in interventions. Availability and quality of services and other supply-related issues is a major factor for not availing FP services. Improvement in family planning cannot be achieved without quality services. Quality is considered good when adequate infrastructure, supplies and equipment are in place and when well- trained, skilled, motivated and supported staffs are available. Besides that, an enabling environment for health-seeking behavior is another factor for increasing services. An enabling environment requires adequate resources, effective leadership, management and accountability. Engagement of governments, communities and other members of civil society is critical to fostering an enabling environment. Furthermore, improve knowledge of family planning and cultivate a demand for services. The demand for FP exists in different forms: Actual use and latent demand. The latter exists among those who wish to avoid pregnancy but are not currently using FP (those with an unmet need for FP) and those who might wish to avoid pregnancy. Holistic, client-centered approaches are the only way to make FP programming effective and successful ultimately supports health system.
