FRONTIERS MEETING
Paying for Family Planning in the 21st Century
Washington, DC, 25 April 2007
Symposium sponsored by
FRONTIERS and the
MAQ Financial Sustainability Subcommittee
In the face of declining donor funding, family planning programs in the 21st century will need to find alternative resources to sustain provision of products and services. This meeting focused on prospects for increasing public-sector financing, improving the financial sustainability of NGOs, and opportunities for increasing the role of the commercial sector to help pay for family planning.
