First Floor Building 1

LOCATION Singaraja Hall 2 TITLE Meeting our Commitments: Averting a Family Planning Crisis

SPONSORING ORGANIZATION(S) UNFPA

DESCRIPTION A changing aid environment and global health architecture are threatening the family planning space. With traditional donors significantly reducing aid, and the funding available for family planning reducing even more significantly in proportion to overall funding, there is a tangible risk that the momentum created by the 2012 London Summit on Family Planning be lost and that the goals set by the international community at the Summit are not achieved.

UNFPA Supplies (formerly the “Global Programme to Enhance Reproductive Health Commodity Security”) – the only United Nations programme specifically focused on family planning and reproductive health commodity security – has a focused mission to ensure a secure, steady and reliable supply of quality contraceptives and maternal health medicines and to improve access and use by strengthening national health systems and services. UNFPA Supplies is the largest procurer of contraceptives globally, and supports national action to reach poor and marginalized women and girls in countries with high unmet need for family planning and high rates of maternal death.

A shortage of funding for this Programme through to 2020, could result in 116 million unintended pregnancies, leading to 55 million live births and 45 million abortions, over 2 million maternal and child deaths and a loss of $5.5 billion in direct health-care spending.

The international community needs to build on the momentum it has created for family planning, and come together to ensure the necessary financial in-flow is ensured and the lives and dreams of millions of women and girls around the world are saved.

Against this backdrop, UNFPA is calling a meeting of family planning and UNFPA Supplies stakeholders, to discuss how this imminent crisis can be averted.

This session will be in English and French. Snacks and refreshments will be provided.
