Egypt faces the persistent challenge of unmet need for family planning (FP) that stands at 13.8%, despite progress in reducing fertility rates that reaches 2.85 in 2021. Gaps between women’s fertility preferences and actual contraceptive use exist due to barriers such as limited access to information and resources, inadequate service quality, opposition from partners and families, and cultural views against contraceptives. Addressing this issue is crucial for women’s reproductive and maternal health, child health, gender equity, socioeconomic development, and achieving Egypt's demographic goals. Population dynamics, with a large youth population and ongoing growth, place additional strain on public resources and services. Strategic investments in family planning are essential to foster sustainable development and build a resilient future.
