This was lower than the Eastern African average (about 32.5% of women). The most common forms of contraception were contraceptive injectables (about 9% of women), contraceptive implants (about 5% of women). There were low rates of usage for condoms (about 1% of women), IUDs (about 1% of women), and pills (about 1% of women).
