Brief: WHO Family Planning Accelerator Project
South-South learning exchange
Overview
The WHO FP Accelerator project (2019-2022) supports partners and Ministries of Health (MoH) to accelerate quality and rights-based Family planning (FP) services within the broader frameworks of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), Universal health coverage (UHC) and the WHO 13th Global Programme of Work (GPW13). The project contributes specifically to the attainment of SDG 3.1, 3.7 and 5.6 and to the GPW 13 goal of 1 billion more people. The project is being implemented in 14 countries.
One of the approaches used in the project is to facilitate “peer to peer” learning of implementing and scaling up evidence-based practices for uptake of postpartum and post-abortion FP, expanding the range and choice of contraceptives available and delivery channels, adolescents’ access to contraceptive care and improvements in quality of care.
