Cost Implemented Plan (CIP)
What is a Cost Implemented Plan (CIP)?
A Costed Implementation Plan (CIP) is a roadmap designed to help governments achieve their family planning objectives over several years. The CIP is an actionable plan that can save millions of lives and improve the health and well-being of women, families, and communities. CIPs are critical in turning 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 is a set of tools that helps develop a comprehensive family planning strategy. It includes resources for program planners, ministry representatives, and technical assistance providers to follow a 10-step CIP process. The kit is based on best-practice guidance from over a decade of experience and was recently updated in 2022. The CIP Resource Kit includes:
- 5 Crosscutting Tools: Applicable across all 10 steps.
- 14 Tools and Resources: Organized around the 10 steps for comprehensive planning, development, and execution.
- Library of Additional Resources: This is a valuable resource to refer to throughout the process.
