LIVE-STREAMED PRESS-CONFERENCE 3PM, KIGALI-TIME (RWANDA)

 

KIGALI, RWANDA –  Media
OutReach – 12 November 2018 – On Monday, Nov. 12, a
groundbreaking report will be released with compelling new data on family
planning progress in the world’s 69 lowest-income countries.  

 

The annual progress report entitled FP2020: Catalyzing
Collaborati
on has been produced by Family Planning 2020 (FP2020) – a
leading global partnership that supports the rights of women and girls to
freely decide whether, when, and how many children they want to
have.  

 

The report is a center-piece of family planning debate and
policy-making annually.  It will be the
most data-rich analysis of family planning outcomes in the 69 studied countries
to date.

 

The report will include:

 

  • Compelling new data on a
    country-level and aggregate basis for the world’s 69 lowest-income
    countries, including:
    • Unintended pregnancies prevented, unsafe abortions avoided, and maternal deaths averted in the 12 months from July 2017 to July 2018
    • Levels of contraceptive use and unmet need for modern contraception among married and unmarried adolescents and young women aged 15-19 and 20-24
    • Patterns and trends
      in key life events for young people such as age at marriage, first sex,
      and first birth
    • Adolescent birth rate
      indicators

      tracking progress toward reducing teen births

  • For the first time, data on domestic
    government spending on family planning
    , showing country ownership of
    programs in some cases, and critical gaps in others
  • New data on the largest bilateral (i.e. country) family planning donors
    and trends in financing
  • A forceful call to
    action
    to government policy-makers and other stakeholders on the
    need to guarantee reproductive health care — including rights-based family
    planning — in all universal health coverage plans

 

A live-streamed press conference will be held at 3pm
Kigali time (Rwanda) on Monday 12 November,
to launch the report at the International Conference on Family
Planning.
