With a sustained high average economic growth (about 9 percent) fueled by the diamond mining industry, it is the only country in Africa listed among the 13 'economic miracles' of the world for 1960-2005. The total fertility rate remains high in Sub-Saharan Africa, with 25 countries showing a rate greater than 5.0. In contrast, Botswana experienced the greatest fertility decline in the region during 1980-2006, with the total fertility rate decreasing from 7.1 in 1981 to 3.2 in 2006. The Botswana national family planning program, judged the strongest in Africa, contributed to this decline. The government strongly committed to meeting family planning needs, integrated maternal and child health/family planning (MCH/FP) and sexually transmitted infection (STI) services in 1973. The government spends about 18 percent of its total budget on health, a higher proportion than the Abuja declaration's target of 15 percent.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOABORTIONABSTINENCEADOLESCENT FERTILITYADOLESCENTSAGE AT MARRIAGEAGEDANTENATAL CAREBABYBASIC INFRASTRUCTUREBREASTFEEDINGCENSUSESCERVICAL CANCERCHILD DEVELOPMENTCHILD HEALTHCHILD HEALTH SERVICESCHILDBEARINGCITIZENCLINICSCOMMODITY SECURITYCONDOMCONTRACEPTIVE COMMODITIESCONTRACEPTIVE METHODCONTRACEPTIVE PREVALENCECONTRACEPTIVE USECONTRACEPTIVESDECLINE IN FERTILITYDEMAND FOR FAMILY PLANNINGDEMAND FOR FAMILY PLANNING SERVICESDEPENDENCY RATIODEVELOPMENT PLANNINGDIFFERENTIALS IN HEALTHDISTRIBUTION OF CONTRACEPTIVESDRUGSDUAL PROTECTIONECONOMIC GROWTHEDUCATED WOMENEDUCATION OF GIRLSEMERGENCIESEMERGENCY OBSTETRIC CAREEPIDEMICEPIDEMIOLOGYETHNIC GROUPEXISTING FAMILY PLANNINGEXTENDED FAMILYFAMILIESFAMILY HEALTHFAMILY HEALTH DIVISIONFAMILY LIFE EDUCATIONFAMILY MEMBERSFAMILY PLANNINGFAMILY PLANNING CLIENTSFAMILY PLANNING COMMODITIESFAMILY PLANNING PROGRAMFAMILY PLANNING SERVICESFAMILY WELFAREFAMILY WELFARE ASSOCIATIONFEMALE CONDOMFEMALE EDUCATIONFEMALE STERILIZATIONFERTILITY DECLINEFERTILITY RATEFEWER BIRTHSFIRST BIRTHFREE CONDOMSGOOD GOVERNANCEGOVERNMENT PROGRAMSHEALTH CAREHEALTH CARE SYSTEMHEALTH COALITIONHEALTH EDUCATIONHEALTH FACILITIESHEALTH INDICATORSHEALTH PROBLEMSHEALTH PROMOTIONHEALTH SYSTEMHIVHIV INFECTIONHOME VISITSHOSPITALSHOUSEHOLD SURVEYSHUMAN DEVELOPMENTIMMUNIZATIONIMMUNODEFICIENCYINFANTINFANT MORTALITYINFANT MORTALITY RATEINFECTIOUS DISEASESINFERTILITYINFORMATION SYSTEMINTERNAL MIGRATIONINTERNATIONAL WOMENINTRAUTERINE DEVICESIUDKNOWLEDGE OF FAMILY PLANNINGLABOR FORCELEGAL RIGHTSLIFE EXPECTANCYLIVE BIRTHSLONGER BIRTH INTERVALSLOWER FERTILITYMALE CONDOMMANAGEMENT OF POPULATIONMARITAL STATUSMARRIED WOMENMATERNAL DEATHMATERNAL MORTALITYMATERNAL MORTALITY RATIOMEDICINESMENTAL HEALTHMETHODS OF CONTRACEPTIONMIDWIFEMIDWIFERYMIGRANTMIGRATIONMINISTRY OF EDUCATIONMINISTRY OF HEALTHMODERN CONTRACEPTIVE METHODSMODERN CONTRACEPTIVE PREVALENCEMODERN CONTRACEPTIVESMORTALITYMOTHERMOTHER-TO-CHILDNATIONAL AIDSNATIONAL FAMILY PLANNINGNATIONAL GOVERNMENTNATIONAL LEVELNATIONAL POPULATIONNATIONAL POPULATION POLICYNEED FOR FAMILY PLANNINGNEONATAL CARENEWBORNNEWBORN CARENUMBER OF CHILDRENNUMBER OF DEATHSNURSENURSINGNUTRITIONOCCUPATIONAL HEALTHOFFICIAL LANGUAGEORAL CONTRACEPTIVESOUTREACH ACTIVITIESPARENTAL CONSENTPEER EDUCATIONPELVIC INFLAMMATORY DISEASEPHARMACIESPHARMACISTSPHYSICIANSPILLPOPULATION ACTIONPOPULATION ACTION INTERNATIONALPOPULATION COUNCILPOPULATION GROWTHPOPULATION SECTORPOPULATION STUDIESPOSTERSPOSTNATAL CAREPREGNANCYPRIMARY HEALTH CAREPRIMARY HEALTH CARE FACILITIESPRINT MEDIAPROGRESSPROVIDERS OF FAMILY PLANNINGPUBLIC HEALTHPUBLIC HOSPITALSPUBLIC SERVICEQUALITY OF SERVICESRADIORADIO COMMUNICATIONRADIO SHOWSRAPEREPRODUCTIVE HEALTHREPRODUCTIVE HEALTH COMMODITYREPRODUCTIVE HEALTH FACILITIESRURAL AREASSCHOOL CURRICULUMSECONDARY EDUCATIONSECONDARY SCHOOLSSERVICE FACILITIESSERVICE PROVIDERSSERVICES FOR ADOLESCENTSSEXSEX RATIOSEXUALITYSINGLE-PARENT FAMILIESSKILLS DEVELOPMENTSOCIAL MARKETINGSTATE UNIVERSITYSTERILIZATIONSURVIVAL OF CHILDRENTEENAGERSTEENSTUBERCULOSISUNFPAUNIONSUNITED NATIONS POPULATION FUNDUNIVERSITY EDUCATIONUNMARRIED WOMENURBAN AREASURBAN CENTERURBAN POPULATIONURBANIZATIONUSE OF CONTRACEPTIVESWOMANWORKPLACEWORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATIONYOUNG WOMENYOUTH-FRIENDLY SERVICESReportWorld Bank10.1596/27493
