Ethiopia’s Investments in Family Planning
Please join us for an event to examine U.S. policy options to advance international family planning and its linkages with broader U.S. health and development goals. The event will focus on lessons learned from Ethiopia’s ambitious Health Extension Program, and how this model can be adapted for other countries as they work to increase access to family planning.
At this session, expert panelists will discuss the opportunities and challenges in scaling up and sustaining family planning programs. The event will feature a new CSIS report from a Congressional staff delegation to Ethiopia, as well as a CSIS video on family planning and Ethiopia’s Health Extension Program.
