International Conference of Family Planning


25th Jan, 2016

International Conference of Family Planning

Taking place at Bali, Indonesia. Family planning is just the first step on a long journey towards growth, equality and development. It works not just because smaller families can be healthier and wealthier but because empowering women is the key to growing economies and healthy open societies.

India formulated its National Population Policy in 2000 which lays emphasis on reducing the unmet needs for family planning, improvement of health care infrastructure and attaining Population Stabilization by the year 2045.

In India FP 2020 has been utilized as a platform to focus on improving access to Family Planning services through provision of fixed day static services, improving the overall quality of services, influencing the demand for contraceptives and expanding the basket of choices

FP 2020

Family Planning 2020 (FP2020) is a global partnership that supports the rights of women and girls to decide, freely, and for themselves, whether, when, and how many children they want to have. 

FP2020 works with governments, civil society, multi-lateral organizations, donors, the private sector, and the research and development community to enable 120 million more women and girls to use contraceptives by 2020. FP2020 is an outcome of the 2012 London Summit.
