The International Conference on Family Planning
The International
Conference on Family Planning (ICFP) will be held in Nusa Dua,
Indonesia, January 25-28, 2016, bringing together thousands of policymakers,
researchers, technical experts, and advocates from the international family
planning community to share best practices, reflect upon lessons learned, and
chart the course forward. The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID)
is part of the ICFP's core organizing group, and a number of our technical
experts will be present at the conference to engage in the discussions on the
latest successes and challenges in family planning efforts.
Organized
around the theme “Global Action, Local Commitments,” ICFP presents a crucial
platform to elevate family planning within the new global development agenda,
by highlighting the important role and vital contribution of family planning to
strategies for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The meeting
will also call attention to the progress countries have made toward achieving
the global goal of reaching 120 million more women and girls with modern
contraception by 2020.
