Financial Resource Flows for Family Planning (FP Project-2016)

Agency : UNFPA and Netherlands Interdisciplinary Demographic Institute (NIDI)

The ‘Financial Resource Flows for Family Planning’ (FP) is executed by NIDI in collaboration with the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA). IIHMR plays the role of outsourcing partner for data collection, processing, analysis and providing technical support to data collectors. The objective of the project, known as the FP project, was to monitor public and private sector financial flows for family planning in developing countries.

The backbone of the “FP project” is Family Planning 2020 (FP 2020) initiative, which 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. The goal of FP 2020 is to enable 120 million more women and girls to use contraceptives by 2020. To estimate the additional resources needed for reaching this goal, there is need to know how much is being currently spent on FP and the allocation of such resources. The “FP project” aims to estimate expenditures on FP within a country, and targets public and private sectors as well as NGOs.

Under "FP-Project 2016" the detailed financial information for family planning activities of year 2016 is was collected during the F.Y. 2017- 2018. A sample of 23 FP2020 and GPRHCS countries from “Middle East and North Africa” and “Asia and the Pacific” regions is being covered in FP-2016 survey. The UNFPA country offices are provided with the sets of survey instruments for carrying out the survey. Each UNFPA CO is responsible to collect data for its own country covering all the relevant Govt. organizations, NGOs, Insurance Companies, and Corporations. IIHMR provided technical support to data collectors throughout the survey period. Country offices submit the filled in questionnaires and reports within a time limit. The data submitted to IIHMR is processed through FP-Database in the cloud. The FP- Database has been designed for data feeding and analysis of the information collected on family planning activities. It can be accessed globally by all the authorized users including IIHMR. The data will be used by the UNFPA and other development partners for the achievement of the goals of FP2020.
