These figures overshadow great inter- and intra-country variance, with rates of unmet needs for family planning varying from 40 per cent in the Lao People's Democratic Republic and 30 per cent in Cambodia and the Philippines to 9 per cent in Indonesia and 5 per cent in Viet Nam (Sonfield, 2006, PRB, 2008). In the Philippines—a country, where more than half of all pregnancies are unintended—the percentage of married women with unmet needs averages 18 per cent in the National Capital Region of Metro Manila, but reaches 60 per cent in the autonomous region of Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) and 87 per cent in the ARMM poor quintile (Darroch et al, 2009, p. 2). The exclusion of this vulnerable group is also reflected in their not being counted in forecasting of commodity demand, in management information systems and in outreach efforts.
