A measurement of family-planning program benefits that is recognized and used internationally is "Couple Years Protection (CYP)." This aggregate measure of program impact is calculated by taking the number of contraceptives distributed within a program each year, by type, multiplied by the average length of time they are effective in protecting the couple from conception. This technique offers a way to standardize measurement of benefits across different kinds of contraceptives and distribution programs.
After reading all of that, do you think that CYPs adequately measure the important outcomes of the family planning program. what measures should be used to evaluate the benefits of contraceptive programs where the objective is to free women to further their education or to earn income to improve their families' standard of living?
