To better protect communities from infectious diseases, and end preventable maternal and child deaths, USAID assists Mali to improve the availability of critical health commodities in four key areas: HIV, malaria, family planning, and maternal and child health. Stock outs of essential health commodities remain a challenge in Mali. Implant hormonal contraceptives, the most widely used family planning method, are used as the tracer indicator for all stock outs. The stock out rate for this commodity decreased to reach 2.5% across service delivery points in 2022, below the target of 3%.
