Speaking at the CCIH Annual Conference in 2015, Beth Schlachter, Executive Director of FP2020 describes the objective and goals of the organization and the progress that has been made in increasing availability of modern contraceptives to women around the world since the 2012 London Family Planning Summit.

Greater Progress

Executive Director
Family Planning 2020

3. 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.

6. 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

10. 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
