Since the World Health Organization first reported the emergence of the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, countries around the globe have been debating, developing and implementing measures to interrupt the transmission of COVID-19. These include measures such as testing, tracing, self-isolating, issuing shelter-in-place orders, and reorganizing health-care services. These measures could potentially have a profound impact not only in social and economic terms but also on sexual and reproductive health (SRH). While there is a growing body of literature examining the impact of COVID-19 on SRH, there is currently a dearth of data from the Eastern Europe and Central Asia region. This study was therefore commissioned by the UNFPA Regional Office for Eastern Europe and Central Asia (EECARO) to fill this research gap. The continuity of SRH services is one of the priorities of the COVID-19 Pandemic UNFPA Global Response Plan.
