Global Indicators & Reporting

Before the introduction of FP2020, the family planning community mainly depended on conducting national health surveys every five years to monitor their progress.

However, to ensure a more frequent and comprehensive assessment of global progress in family planning across countries, the Performance Monitoring & Evidence Working Group of FP2020, consisting of experts in measurement, introduced a set of Core Indicators. PME WG aimed to gather essential information on various aspects of family planning, including contraceptive use, method choice, quality, availability, and other crucial factors.
