FP is the best approach to address reproductive health, maternal mortality rate, neonatal and infant mortality rate. Family Planning promotion is based on demographics and health concerns and basic human rights, clients can use either AFP or NFP methods but none is 100% effective, although AFP is more effective than NFP. This study was done to assess the Knowledge, Attitude and Practices on Family Planning in Women of Reproductive age, in Bukwo Sub-County Bukwo District and in an attempt to accomplish it. It was found out that despite the many factors hindering it, most respondents knew Modern methods of family planning but hardly used the methods. Poor attitude of the male partners, low education level, religious beliefs and fear of side effects were the major factors hindering use of FP among women.
