On November 11, Knowledge SUCCESS and FP2030 hosted the third session in our final set of conversations in the Connecting Conversations series. In this session, speakers discussed key considerations for scaling up effective and evidence-based programs to ensure that impact is far-reaching across youth populations and geographies.
September 26 is World Contraception Day, an annual global campaign that aims to raise awareness about contraception and safe sex. This year, the Knowledge SUCCESS team took a more personal approach to honor the day. We asked our staff, What’s the one thing that FP/RH program managers, tech advisors, and/or decision-makers should be thinking about on World Contraception Day?”
In early 2020, the WHO/IBP Network and Knowledge SUCCESS Project launched an effort to support organizations in sharing their experiences using High Impact Practices (HIPs) and WHO Guidelines and Tools in Family Planning and Reproductive Health Programming. These 15 implementation stories are the result of that effort.
Although there are more than 60 million additional users of modern contraception in the FP2020 focus countries as compared to 2012, our agenda remains unfinished, with quality family planning information and services not yet reaching many of those with the greatest need. To reach women, girls, and their partners equitably, we need to know who faces the greatest disadvantage.
