Family Planning 2020: Partnering to Promote

Greater Progress

Beth Schlachter Executive Director Family Planning 2020

FP2020 GOALS

To support the rights of 120 million

additional women and girls in the

world’s poorest countries to choose

and use contraceptive information,

services and supplies

To use family planning success

to drive future momentum for

the broader Reproductive

Maternal Newborn Child and

Adolescent Health (RMNCH+A)

continuum of care.

FP2020 partners will work with commitment countries to

reach shared objectives Coordinate in-country efforts to improve contraceptive demand and contraceptive mix forecasts, which in turn can be aggregated into global demand forecasts

Mobilize financial and health system resources for contraceptives and service delivery at the country level, and increase those resource contributions over time

Identify ways to dramatically decrease contraceptive stock-outs and ensure broader access to methods preferred by women

Encourage the identification and application of best practices to drive effective scale-up of family planning service delivery

In coordination with partners (including civil society organizations), identify novel ways to improve supply and generate demand, particularly in those countries with very low modern contraceptive prevalence rates

Monitor and proactively review progress against goals and take additional action through governance and accountability processes as required

IN CONCLUSION…

• More women and girls are using modern methods of contraception than ever before

• Our community is complex – FP2020 provides a platform to reinforce one another’s efforts and pool expertise to build upon the 2012 momentum and secure family planning in the SDGs

• We need to form partnerships and linkages across diverse sources and sectors

• Data is key – we need to strengthen the evidence base for investments in family planning

• Action follows commitments – FP2020 has been catalyst for bringing new attention and action to reduce maternal mortality and increase access to modern contraception

• Moving forward, we must accelerate growth and improve program quality in order to reach our goals while ensuring progress happens through a rights-based approach
