International Family Planning
A Success Story So Far
This research brief describes work documented in The Value of Family Planning Programs in Developing Countries (MR-978-WFHF/RF/UNFPA) and Family Planning in Developing Countries: An Unfinished Success Story (IP-176)
Excerpt: Family planning programs have been highly successful in providing women in developing countries with access to contraceptive services and helping them to achieve desired family size. These programs also yield other benefits, notably improvements in women's and children's health. Although host countries provide about 75 percent of family planning funds, financial and technical assistance from donor nations, especially the United States, has been crucial to the success of family planning programs and remains important for future efforts.
