Family Planning News Network

The Family Planning News Network (FPNN) is an engaged, informed, inclusive, and connected network of journalists, influencers, technical experts, community reporters, and content creators committed to reporting on the power of family planning.

This community-owned and community-powered platform creates the space for seasoned and emerging storytellers to produce original programming across sectors and topic areas. You are invited to join FPNN and help amplify seldom-heard stories.

A Community-powered and community-owned Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights Media Network

The ICFP Community came together from across the globe at ICFP2022 to create community-powered & produced live content that speaks to the heart of the family planning community.

The ICFP Secretariat took this opportunity to develop a new platform approach to digital news, content creation, and community partnerships, known as the Family Planning News Network (FPNN). FPNN leverages a diverse group of newsmakers including journalists, youth trailblazer reporters and members of the FP community to create multimedia content that is disseminated through social media channels and other online platforms.

FPNN is designed to support youth reporters and established journalists who are engaged in localized, regional media advocacy efforts on topics related to reproductive health and family planning. These efforts aim to increase awareness and support for family planning among communities and policymakers, particularly in underserved areas where access to information and resources may be limited. The network has access to fellowship opportunities, reporting trips, targeted trainings, sector reports, and an engaged audience of over 40,000 individuals.

Through partnerships with local media outlets and our partner organizations, FPNN will work to amplify the voices of individuals and communities impacted by family planning issues, and to highlight the importance of reproductive health and rights as a key component of overall health and wellbeing.

Connected Global Program

The Policy, Advocacy, and Community-building Global Program prioritizes country-led collaborations to promote evidence-based policies and programs. We recognize the critical importance of continually exchanging best practices, generating new ideas, and collaborating on strategies to advance SRHR and gender equity. The International Conference on Family Planning (ICFP) is a critical juncture for catalyzing evidence-based action and serves as a model for meaningful participation and collaboration between multiple stakeholders working on access to reproductive health services for all.
