6:32 pm
than the economy experts are worried that if africa's population continues to grow at this rate it will create fierce competition for already scarce resources some people say a rethink is needed now as you'll see in our next report from senegal it's a boots on the ground if it. every day goodness hour goes door to door visiting families in her darker neighborhood she's a buddy in gore a district godmother or empty and she wants to see a change in her community. in the privacy of their homes she talks to women about sex and contraception. so not every woman is able to go to the clinic and choose a contraceptive method. she needs her husband to agree sometimes also how mother in law some women come to the clinic and say my husband wants me to take this specific

method even if it's not saying so we go and speak to that has meant to raise his awareness our role is to media. yes having mediators at the grassroots level makes a big difference say so if you build your truly a midwife down the bill her center 10 years ago the government launched this outreach program to make family planning a priority they hope to decrease maternal a new unit of death according to the world bank the 1st city rate dropped below 5 children per woman in 2016 it was a 1st time in senegal's history the birth rate is no at 4.7 lower than other countries in the region such as new share or nigeria in the queue outside sophie's practice is always growing. in 2009 when i started working here we had around 400 women a month who want to contraceptives but now we have up to 2500 women
6:34 pm
a month. through the growth has been exponential oh. oh. oh. i think it's because of all the awareness campaigns the media the funding's also women now realize the benefits of spacing out pregnancies for their babies their husbands and for themselves. this mother of 3 comes here very clearly to get the pill she doesn't want any more children as she wants to make sure her kids get the best education possible. family planning i have peace of mind you know i can do whatever i want without thinking of anything pregnant. in senegal around 95 percent of the population is muslim society here is conservative file

is part of a growing young generation of religious leaders who promote family planning file has train more than $2500.00 him arms across the country he insists that the koran advocates breastfeeding and spacing out pregnancies but it was when you read the details of the words of the prophets you can clearly see that he was a good close pregnant. said he had terrible consequences for the newborns and for the mother. more and more married couples are now using contraception but because sex outside marriage is considered single young people are often excluded from awareness campaigns on sexual and reproductive health. and. the priority is to educate the youth the rafah compound. on is and you have to make them understand what is at stake when there is an unwanted pregnancy. what is at
6:36 pm
stake when they have an uncontrolled sexuality you know the reason why a dead body. in a country like senegal must be a priority to you. use a separate interviewing to do because the. target must be made but there's still a long way to go health workers hope that more women and girls will soon have full control of the decisions concerning that bodies. may as a u.n. population summit underway in nairobi a duck say as we know who is the executive director of the african institute for policy development and joins me now he's and it's bush who's with clothes on how best we can manage our population in africa welcome to africa dr seuss so the prediction is a 1000000000 more africans in 30 yet is is that a given the 2 years you are the proud the professional replicas projected to reach cheryl to double more days you are by trying to be. about to uncover video
6:37 pm
from the $1.00 beer that there are now so this is one of the ship that is being discussed at the international conference for the british unfoldment the managing 25 years here in nairobi right so what is the message in terms of what is coming out of the conference looking at these numbers what does it mean for the continent to say that we're going to double in size in 30 is. i think progression is just busy busy because the mission now that. there is i've reached african corporations growing try to keep trying to put development for the function not trying to function in already i think the challenge is to do with providing quality education to various agencies and so on so if the continent has to raise these issues and i think she needs own source you're going to make sure the mission goes to this growing because the mission that you spent time when the corporations growing sort of so hard to do conference years talking about ways in which the african continent

6:39 pm
drawing from school some of them it's because we're both michael from their money and because of contraception but some are just north having a portion each is to do their education so their whole campaign about keeping goes in school but also in point to new and we think that they should speak through child survival if i did that he may need to know is that the conference he's talking about the writings of ensuring that he did report christian growth and i think i saw it all right what we had a few seconds duck a minute quickly is the point that we need to rebut the crane so for example we need to stop as growing to double the size that we're at is that what the message is that this train needs to be reversed very quickly you know the doubling of the progression of our free grant trying to this point i can tell you i'm not the 1st because what it did is a close and information recorded corporation momentum because they wanted to so many young people who are people you have not started even dead by the time they
