in 16. and. language courses. this is did every news africa coming up in the next 15 minutes give the people the how women in synagogues teaching each other about their reproductive rights and why it needs to happen all over the continent. and ought also known as africa we'll take you to an exhibition in paris i wanted to do something from the present

there are 2 projects on the future so the every. time there is there is to say that's what i want to project something into the future of. hello i'm christine want to welcome to news africa it's good to have you along it's a fact that women in sub-saharan africa are having more children than women elsewhere in the world and that will see africa's population size double by 2050 that means in just 30 is africa will add 1000000000 people to the world that's according to a un for cost power in numbers a young continent with a strong potential workforce but there's another side to the story the more people you have the more jobs you need and the population in africa is growing. faster

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 bulge in gore a district god most are empty and she wants to see change him her community. in the privacy of their homes she talks to women about sex and contraception. not every woman is able to go to the clinic and choose a contraceptive method. she needs her husband to agree sometimes also her 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 safe so we go and speak to that has meant to raise his awareness of our role is to media. having mediators at the grassroots level makes a big difference say so if you build your truly a midwife there on the bill her center 10 years ago the government launched this outreach program to make family planning a priority they hope to decrease maternal and 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 laura 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 we wanted contraceptives but now we have up to 2500 women

a month. to the growth has been exponential. 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. with family planning i have peace of mind now i can do whatever i want without thinking of getting 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 promotes family planning file has trained wasn't 2500 him arms across the country he insists that the koran advocates breastfeeding and spacing out pregnancies but it was seen when you read to her daughter of the words of the prophets you can clearly see that he was against good pregnancy so. they 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 taboo single young people are often excluded from awareness campaigns on sexual and reproductive health. and. because of the priority is to educate the youth the rafah compound. we have to make them understand what is at stake when there is an unwanted pregnancy is an issue of what's at stake when they have an uncontrolled sexuality. is my dead body.

in a country like senegal must be a priority to keep. i use a separate interviewing to do because the. progress has been made but there is still a long way to go health workers hope that more women and girls will soon have food control of the decisions concerning that bodies. may as a un population summit underway in nairobi adults say india's woman who is the executive director of the african institute for policy development joins me now he's an expert who's with clothes on how best we can manage our population in africa welcome to day debbie africa dr zuma so the prediction is a 1000000000 more africans in 30 years is that a given the 2 years you are the power of the progression of africa's projected your age to double more lazy are by trying to be. sure about to one degree or

the one going to be there so this is one of the patients that is being discussed by the international companies for permission for men for marriage in 25 years here in monrovia 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 that. they are very tied which the african progression growing is right at the training camp with development but they come to the turn to come to survey d. i think the challenge is to do with providing quality education if you're safe you see and so on so if the continent has to address these issues and i'm sure its own source you're going to trust the mission goes to growing because the mission that it's going to wind up with rationed growing sort of so hard to do the conference

years talking about ways in which the african continent was was not the regions of the world country money come monday there will creation but then just funding is a kind of. is that it's you know if you needed to do the job of government to do so and froebel today shows if you got news that way there's or did in many countries enough to go away you see that in order to remain one to use charge of funding the plan they want to delay the next pregnancy or they want to stroke our child betty altogether but they are not able to do 2 trucks is a modern effective methods of contraception so one of the things the conference is that it probing about is how do we promote going started from your funding educated people but once people want to use funded planning to make sure that the. system from the fund but it's not only from their funding but that that that are trying to drive being a profession grow up enough to go to fox but a lot of it was a charity i'm not going to secondary school there we could be drawing from schools

some of them it's because of also michael from the money because of contraception but some are just not having the push you need to do their education so their whole campaign about keeping goals in school but also to continuing with interventions to group child survival i did get him a media is that the conference is talking about the right things of ensuring that. the david report ration growth and i think i saw it all right what we have to 2nd stuck a president quickly is the point that we need to reverse the train 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 now that doubling of the progression of our free trying to this point i can say you can not be the 1st because what it did is a closer information recorded corporation moment time because they wanted to so many young people who are people you have not started getting better by the time

they grow up and start giving giving back the doubling of the population is going to be is more is going to tell people the real professional just on principle so just. trying to say our food is already going to drive these people british and how do we know how cold we're going to these people they should be before you do if you're going to be a god because the right course you're going to transformation agenda depends a little bit demographic dividend how does a week or 2 got funded your piece you full commission read it as a as a voter but i sit with you both mean through education investments in paid employment will remain on job creation ok that's. from the african institute for development policy thank you. also known as africa which is also known as a.k.a. sounds complicated no it's just about a lot africa not on display at here spiny
