In Ethiopia there was a dramatic increase in contraceptive prevalence rate (CPR) from 8.2% to 36% in 2016. Although such encouraging results have been achieved, there are significant variations among the regions, with very low coverage in the pastoralist regions ranging from 1.5 percent in Somali region to 56 percent in Addis Ababa. No studies in Somali region have qualitatively explored for barriers accessing and utilizing family planning from the pastoralist community perspective.

Methods: Qualitative inductive content analysis through purposive sampling with maximum variation mixed with snow ball were used to conduct four FGD among married women and their husbands, fifteen KII among programmers, service providers and community chiefs.
