- Family planning financing gradually becomes sufficient and resilient, with commitment-making countries increasingly able to sustainably finance their family planning work and transparently track their expenditures.
- Political commitment and policy environment are expanded and consistently supportive, leading to a more enabling environment for rights-based family planning at the national and subnational levels.
- Health systems meet the information, service, and supply needs of all individuals everywhere.
- The quality of family planning services for adolescents and young people is improved, including for those furthest behind and in humanitarian settings.
- The capacity of local and community-based actors to meaningfully contribute to the continuation of family planning services during humanitarian crises is strengthened.
Funding recipients will be expected to bring about positive change in one or a combination of these expected outcomes. What the Partnership Fund offersFP2030 will publish a series of at least three competitive “Challenges” between November 2023 and June 2025, allowing civil society organizations, including youth-led organizations, entrepreneurs, feminist organizations, and other nontraditional actors to secure small grants and implement locally led initiatives to solve a wide range of key family planning problems. The shared thread across the Challenges is the improvement of rights-based family planning policies and strategies by supporting locally led solutions. Challenges will vary in their specific funding priorities, eligibility criteria, geographic focus, and modalities. Successful applicants to the partnership fund will receive catalytic grants, in line with the key priorities stated above. Partnership grants will cover the following:
- Program costs: This makes up the bulk of the grant’s total budget. Program costs include approved program activities directly responding to the Request for Proposal’ priorities. They also include associated staffing costs (up to 30% of all Programs costs), and administrative costs (up to 10% of all Programs costs).
- Capacity strengthening costs: Partnership Fund’s recipients will receive earmarked funds for organizational capacity strengthening as part of their award. On average, we expect these funds will amount to 10% of the total grant’s amount. Specific organizational strengthening needs will be identified by funding recipients at the beginning of their project through a self-assessment process, and progress will be monitored throughout the implementation period.
- Learning and networking costs: Partnership Fund’s recipients will also receive earmarked funding to participate in learning and networking opportunities On average, we expect these funds will amount to 10% of the total grant’s amount. Specific knowledge sharing and learning opportunities will be identified by Fund recipients at the beginning of their project, in close collaboration with FP2030’s Support Network.
