The importance of this theme arises because of the several unfavorable consequences that unplanned pregnancies produce. Through situation analysis of the coverage area was raised problems, which priority problem was elected to intervention proposal. The intervention plan was based on strategic planning.

The results showed the following critical problems: Low captation of women of childbearing age and sexually active to participate in family planning; Lack of health education actions in schools focused on sex education; Low capacity of staff team in relation to family planning; Lack of instruments to monitor the actions related to family planning; Low level of information about contraceptive methods; Shortage of oral / injectable contraceptives in pharmacies.
