IUSSP at the 2025 International Conference on Family Planning (IFCP)

Bogotá, Colombia, 3-6 November 2025

The IUSSP was present at the International Conference on Family Planning (ICFP) that took place in Bogotá, Colombia November 3-6, 2025. This meeting provided an opportunity for IUSSP Council members and IUSSP members to engage with the global Family Planning community, especially the large contingent from Latin America. During the meeting, a diverse pool of IUSSP members volunteered at the IUSSP booth and engaged with ICFP participants about the benefits of participating in the Union. 61 people signed up to receive more information about the IUSSP.

The conference also provided an opportunity for the IUSSP Panel on Rethinking Family Planning Measurement with a Reproductive Justice and Rights Lens to engage with the global family planning community. This included presenting findings from a recent consensus-building exercise as part of an oral session on New Tools and Approaches for Measuring Family Planning and Reproductive Health. 

The Panel also led a one-day post-conference recommendations workshop with about 30 invited participants representing researchers, practitioners, measurement experts, and donors from across the globe. The workshop was an opportunity through large and small group discussions to review and scrutinize lessons learned and recommendations for future family planning measurement. The recommendations from the workshop will be disseminated in 2026.
