The Family Planning Group was created to
advocate for improved health policies; advocate for more budgetary allocation
at national and local levels, more efficient use of those resources and
improved transparency and accountability. The group will in addition contribute
to influencing decision making processes; exposing leakages and bottlenecks and
reduce wastage in Family Planning Health expenditure.
