It’s the final week to submit your abstract for the 2025 International Conference on Family Planning (#ICFP2025)! As co-hosts of ICFP 2025, we at the William H.

Now is the moment to share your learnings, innovations, and—yes—even your challenges with the global FP and SRHR community. → What’s working in your context? → What needs to be reimagined? → What story do you need the world to hear? Let’s build a conference program that reflects this moment's full complexity, creativity, and courage. 🗓 Abstracts are due this Saturday, April 19, at 11:59 PM ET.

What happens when 200+ of the most passionate, creative, and relentless voices in #FamilyPlanning come together to talk and reimagine the future? Last month, William H. Gates Sr. Institute for Population and Reproductive Health and FP2030 hosted the Future of Family Planning Convening, a moment unlike any other. Not just because the challenges are significant (they are—$127M funding gaps, supply chain crises, and shifting political landscapes). But because our community is resilient and continues to push forward despite these challenges. Instead, we asked: → What does bold, equity-driven advocacy look like now? → Who’s missing from our tables — and how do we change that? → How do we tell the family planning story like it impacts lives — with urgency, creativity, and heart? The result? Real talk. New ideas. Honest reflection. And a shared commitment: we’re still here. → Explore the highlights: [https://lnkd.in/ep4SWm5n] → Add your voice to the #MadePossibleByFP campaign: [https://lnkd.in/eVBK4KGV] → Or drop a comment: What’s the boldest thing you think the FP movement should try next?

ICFP 2025 will convene the global family planning community in Bogotá in November.
