Session: Innovative Funding Approaches to Family Planning and Reproductive Health Services
5185.0: Wednesday, December 14, 2005: 2:30 PM-4:00 PM
Oral
Innovative Funding Approaches to Family Planning and Reproductive Health Services
From California's family planning program to a global initiative advocating to increase funding for contraceptives, people around the world have developed innovative approaches to fund reproductive health and family planning services. This is in response to an increasingly challenging environment in terms of political support, opposition to family planning and corresponding declines in reproductive health financing. In this session, presenters will share their approaches to increase funding for, and access to, reproductive health services and commodities.
Learning Objectives: By the end of this session participants will be able to describe several innovative approaches from the US and abroad to fund reproductive health services.
