Family Planning 2020 (FP2020) is a global partnership that supports the rights of women and girls to decide, freely, and for themselves, whether, when, and how many children they want to have. FP2020 works with governments, civil society, multilateral organizations, donors, the private sector, and the research and development community to enable 120 million more women and girls to use contraceptives by 2020.

When you make a commitment to FP2020, you gain access to an international platform from which you can promote your program and collaborate with fellow commitment-makers. To date, more than 90 countries, donors, multilateral institutions, and civil society, research, development, and private sector organizations have made formal commitments to FP2020. Their commitments include measurable financial, policy, and programmatic pledges that will contribute to achieving the FP2020 goal of expanding access to contraception.

Since first making a commitment to FP2020 in 2012, Pakistan has demonstrated ongoing efforts toward the promotion of family planning. As of this year, all four provinces have drafted Costed Implementation Plans for family planning and developed family planning task forces comprised of public and private sector stakeholders. Each province is also drawing upon domestic resources to procure contraceptives. The government is committed to ensuring a range of available methods in country and has trained mid-level service providers in the public and private sectors to provide IUDs and implants. Additionally, to promote acceptability of family planning, the government is collaborating with men and religious leaders as part of its social mobilization efforts. Punjab, Sindh, and KPK have established health centers specifically for adolescents. To continue promoting strong government commitment, Pakistan will work to strengthen collaboration among regions under a devolved system in order to reach 6.7 million additional users and increase CPR to 50% by 2020.
