ADDITIONAL QUOTES

Dr. Samukeliso Dube, Executive Director, FP2030

“The past ten years have been full of obstacles for country health systems – wars, political upheavals, natural disasters, deadly disease outbreaks, and lately the COVID-19 pandemic – yet through it all, women everywhere have continued to seek out and use modern contraception in ever-growing numbers. The world now needs to step up to ensure that we can meet this demand. We are encouraged by the large number of actors that have already committed to expanding access to voluntary, rights-based, high-quality family planning. But now is the time to be even bolder and go bigger, and ensure that we have reliable, robust, and stable funding streams to finance our family planning programs for years to come.”
