Couple years of protection (CYPs) is a measure that estimates the protection from pregnancy provided by contraceptive methods over a one-year period. This helps us to track our progress in delivering family planning services.
Each contraceptive method has a unique CYP which depends on how long the method can be used for, the likelihood of wastage, and how effectively it prevents pregnancy.
