WHO FP Accelerator Plus - Project Newsletter

Overview

The WHO FP Accelerator Plus project builds on past efforts by the family planning (FP) Umbrella (2015- 2018) and Accelerator projects (2019-2022) to support partners and ministries of health (MoH) to accelerate scaling up and sustaining the implementation of WHO recommended gender-responsive FP evidence-based practices. The project contributes specifically to the attainment of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), targets 3.1, 3.7 and 5.6 and the WHO 13th Global Programme of Work goal of 1 billion more people covered by the Universal Health Coverage (UHC). The WHO-FP Accelerator Plus Project is coordinated by the Contraception and Fertility Care (CFC) Unit in the WHO Department of Sexual and Reproductive Health and Research (WHO/SRH) and implemented with WHO’s Regional and Country offices over a period of 5 years (2022- 2027).  This investment will focus on the following areas: 

• Self-care interventions for SRH, including FP
• Post-pregnancy FP
• Task sharing for FP
• Demand generation and Social Behaviour change
• communication (SBCC)
• Adolescent and youth sexual and reproductive health TA mechanism
• Guideline for Emerging contraception
