Family Planning and the Global Financing Facility: Current Evidence and a Learning Agenda
To achieve “universal access” to voluntary, high-quality family planning (FP) services - international FP funders seek to increase financing for FP in low- and middle-income countries. This now faces fiscal and practical challenges due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The
Global Financing Facility (GFF), launched in 2015, aims to “create the conditions for sustainable financing for reproductive, maternal, newborn, child and adolescent health and nutrition (RMNCAH-N) interventions.” In this article for the
Center for Global Development, Rachel Silverman, Janeen Keller and Amanda Glassman set out the role of the GFF and discuss including contraception in health benefit packages, and the incorporation of FP in investment cases and World Bank projects. They conclude with a research agenda for future policy.
