Abstract
The Baobab Research Programme Consortium (RPC), in collaboration with the Guttmacher Institute, implemented the first-ever application of the Abortion Incidence Complications Method (AICM) in refugee settings in Uganda. Complementing this effort, the Baobab RPC also conducted a household survey on unintended pregnancy among women residing in these humanitarian contexts. The data presented herein are derived from these two rigorous studies and offer critical insights into the prevalence, drivers, and consequences of unsafe abortion and unintended pregnancy in displacement settings. These findings contribute to a growing body of evidence aimed at informing policy, programming, and resource allocation for sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) in refugee-hosting countries.
