What Is a Costed Implementation Plan (CIP)?
A Costed Implementation Plan (CIP) is a multi-year actionable roadmap designed to help governments achieve their family planning goals—goals that when achieved will save millions of lives and improve the health and wellbeing of women, families and communities. CIPs are a critical tool in transforming ambitious family planning commitments—such as those made through Family Planning 2030 and the Ouagadougou Partnership—into concrete programs and policies.
What Is the CIP Kit?
The CIP Resource Kit features tools for developing and executing a robust, actionable, rights-based and resourced family planning strategy. Specifically, the kit includes resources and tools necessary for program planners, ministry representatives and technical assistance providers to go through the 10-step CIP process. The CIP Resource Kit provides best-practice guidance based on over a decade of the hands-on experience of governments, donors and technical assistance providers in creating and implementing CIPs. In 2022, the CIP Resource Kit was refreshed as a part of a continuous learning and revision process. The CIP Resource Kit contains:
- 5 crosscutting tools and resources that are applicable across all 10 steps
- 14 tools and resources organized around the 10 steps to plan for, develop, and execute a CIP
- A library of additional resources that can be referenced or used throughout the process
