Investment Case: Ending Unmet Need for Family Planning and Preventable Maternal Deaths in Kyrgyzstan (2023–2030)

developed this investment case to end unmet need for family planning and preventable maternal deaths by 2030.

Using UNFPA’s Investment Case Toolkit (Spectrum/LiST/FamPlan), the study defines essential interventions, estimates costs from a provider perspective, and models two scenarios: business-as-usual and coverage targets achieved.

An additional investment of US$45.4 million (2023–2030) — about 10.6% above the current trend — would allow Kyrgyzstan to:

• prevent ~405,706 unintended pregnancies,
• avert ~21,961 abortions, including a 45% reduction in unsafe abortions,
• save ~1,651 stillbirths, and
• prevent ~115 maternal deaths.

Scaling up family planning alone would generate approximately US$5 million in annual savings by 2030 through reduced pregnancies and deliveries.

The report recommends strengthening primary care and midwifery, removing barriers to contraception (especially for adolescents), and institutionalizing annual costing for budgeting.
