Since 2009, USAID has provided funding to improve access to health supplies for people in Pakistan through its USAID | DELIVER PROJECT.  By providing reproductive health commodities to the Government of Pakistan, USAID helped avert an estimated 4.4 million unintended pregnancies, more than 230,000 infant deaths, and almost 10,000 maternal deaths from 2010-2011; the level of support provided for family planning commodities is associated with approximately an 18 percent increase in the contraceptive prevalence rate from 2010 to 2011 alone, suggesting that USAID support is rapidly helping to met the needs of Pakistani couples.
