Therefore contraception is the utilization of various and sundry surgical procedures, devices, practices, agents, or drugs with the intention of preventing conception or impregnation (pregnancy).

ABSTRACT

The WAY Youth and Family Planning Programme sponsors programs in Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the

Caribbean. Discussed here are the programs in Africa, in those countries that have population policies or at least

look favorably upon family planning concepts: Mauritius, Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria, Dahomey, and Upper Volta. Plans

are underway to begin programs in Senegal and Ivory Coast. There was opposition to the programs on moral and

religious groups. Seminars for young people between 16 and 25 are held for 3-7 days. A few lectures are held,

followed by discussions, plays, and poster-making sessions. The aim of the WAY programs is to enlist youth in an

educational drive on a person-to-person basis. (PubHealth.info Document ID: CONT8T 8-06)
