In early 2020, the WHO/IBP Network and Knowledge SUCCESS Project launched an effort to support organizations to share their experiences using High Impact Practices (HIPs) and WHO Guidelines and Tools in Family Planning and Reproductive Health Programming.
In our next phase, the partnership will expand beyond our initial 69 focus countries. We’ll collaborate more closely across sectors, creating stronger ties for accountability, and engaging with partners beyond family planning.
2019-2020 annual report shows that 320 million women and girls are now using modern contraception in 69 low-income countries. 13 countries have doubled the number of modern contraceptive users since 2012.
À l’occasion de la Journée internationale de la jeunesse, nous sommes heureux de partager notre nouvelle déclaration commune, rédigée avec l’Association internationale pour la santé des adolescents (IAAH) et plusieurs autres associations cliniques mondiales qui appellent les pays et les cliniciens à protéger la santé et le bien-être des adolescents tout au long de la période de lutte contre la pandémie.
International Youth Day is this Wednesday, August 12th. To mark the occasion, our social media channels will be devoted entirely to adolescent and youth content — on our website, Twitter, and Facebook, as well as our brand new Instagram account, which is run by the youngest staff members on the Secretariat. All day Wednesday, we will be showcasing content created by young people, for young people, starting with our daily Instagram takeovers, where a different youth focal point will take over the handle each day.
On International Youth Day, there will be a lot of talk about meaningful youth engagement (MYE) – a shorthand way of referring to all the steps needed to achieve equitable partnerships with young people. The fact that many donors, iNGOs, and other decision makers are identifying meaningful youth engagement as a priority for their organizations is one sign of progress. However, many partners in the FP2020 community, especially youth partners, are asking: Is there depth to these discussions? Is there real action toward making young people equitable partners in their work?
Family planning remains one of the top priorities in the Bangladesh’s 4th Health Sector Programme 2017-2021, as a path toward achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. Bangladesh has prioritized implementing the national action plan for postpartum family planning, reducing social and geographical disparity through providing regional family planning packages in Sylhet and Chittagong divisions, and addressing unmet needs among adolescents and youth by operationalizing the national adolescent health strategy.
