Advance Family Planning
The Advance Family Planning (AFP) initiative is comprised of multiple partner organizations worldwide working to achieve the global goal of expanding access to quality contraceptive information, services, and supplies.
AFP provides decision-makers with evidence that family planning is a sound investment for individuals, communities, and a nation’s future, and is a fundamental part of universal health coverage and achieving the Sustainable Development Goals.
