SamenvattingUse of modern family planning among nomadic communities in many African countries is still limited. This article discusses a study in Kilindi District of Tanzania that revealed that although many nomadic youth know about modern family planning methods, they do not use them due to various factors, including cultural beliefs, sexual norms, stigma and fear, long distances to health facilities and male dominance in decision making.
