The Performance Monitoring for Action (PMA) platform is an open cohort with embedded cross-sectional surveys that was established to capture contraceptive use dynamics behaviours and contraception supply-demand factors. PMA data are nationally representative in Kenya, Niger, Uganda, Burkina Faso and Cote d’Ivoire; and representative of subnational geographies in the Democratic Republic of Congo (Kongo Central and Kinshasa provinces), Nigeria (Kano and Lagos states) and India (Rajasthan state). PMA cohorts were enrolled in late 2019 (Phase 1), with two annual follow-up surveys conducted in each site (Phases 2 and 3). Phase 4 data are forthcoming in Burkina Faso, Cote d’Ivoire, Niger, Nigeria, Uganda and Kinshasa. Across the eight countries in PMA, a total of 40 986 women aged 15–49 years participated in Phase 1, 49 184 women participated in Phase 2 and 53 865 women in Phase 3. PMA female surveys measure key family planning and reproductive health indicators, along with gender- and other health-related measures. The Service Delivery Point surveys capture information on service quality and contraceptive availability and stock.
