More than 214 million women living in developing countries do not want to become pregnant but do not use effective contraceptive methods.For some of them, access to contraception is limited; for others, available methods are not acceptable or affordable.

The goal of the Contraceptive Technology Innovation (CTI) Initiative is to develop new and strategically important contraceptives, through a strong focus on global partnerships, that ensures wide access to quality, affordable and acceptable products for those most in need.
