Commitments
Social, cultural, and religious norms in Egypt have sometimes caused family planning to be stigmatized. Reversing a more than 25-year pattern of declining fertility, the average number of children a woman has in her lifetime increased substantially between the 2008 and 2014 demographic and health surveys, from a level of 3.0 births per woman to 3.5 births per woman. A recent commitment-maker, the Government of Egypt is committed to safeguarding the health of its women and girls and mitigating the rate of its population growth by expanding its contraceptive programs, and improving the quality of services to attract new users while expanding contraceptive method choice.
