**4. Conclusion**

Contraception or birth control methods are an important component of the reproductive health and wellbeing of women across the globe that despite its benefits, utilization in most low and middle-income countries remain low. The implementation of a social and behavior change intervention based on formative research has been successful in most programs that promote contraceptive use among populations. This approach involves a well-planned social and behavior change communication with specific key messages that target the barrier to the utilization of the contraceptive method, community mobilization, community engagement, and advocacy made to obtain political support for the program. This comprehensive approach is highly recommended to actualize the benefits of contraception across all populations, countries, and continents in the globe.
