This episode—our last for this season—will feature guests from Madagascar and Uganda who will share stories about strengthening partnerships and advocacy for family planning. Their insights can help us as we look to shape supportive systems and ensure that family planning programs can reach all who need them.

This episode, we are changing course a bit, to focus on overall systems and policies. From pre-service training for midwives and obstetrics and gynecology students in Burkina Faso to a fixed day approach for family planning provision in India, we will explore innovations that meet family planning clients’ needs and create enabling environments that allow family planning programs to be successful.

This episode, we continue our focus on youth—but this time, we will focus on service delivery. We will hear about three distinct healthcare settings—in Kenya, Mexico, and Zimbabwe—that respond to the specific needs of adolescents and youth and ensure that they have access to the family planning and reproductive health care that meets their unique needs.

This episode, we turn our attention to youth. Featuring guests from Benin, Ecuador, and Colombia, we will explore innovative strategies to provide essential family planning information and services to diverse groups of adolescents. From jewelry making to a unique method of engaging peer influencers, today’s episode will discuss what elements of successful programs can be replicated in other settings to improve access to contraception among young people.

In this episode, we will focus on integrating family planning services with other health areas and settings. Featuring guests from Tanzania, Nigeria, and Bangladesh, we will examine specific actions that programs can take to involve communities and meet family planning needs. From HIV to maternal health to refugee camps, this episode will examine what elements of these integrated programs can be replicated in other settings to improve access to family planning.

In Season 2 of Inside the FP Story, Knowledge SUCCESS collaborates with the World Health Organization (WHO) / IBP Network to explore issues around implementing family planning programs. In this episode, we will hear about two programs on opposite sides of the globe—one in Guatemala and the other in Vietnam. Both programs used innovative approaches to engage with communities in remote areas and meet their family planning needs.

In this episode, we’ll hear directly from representatives from the four countries once again—this time, about what success means to them and what their family planning priorities and aspirations are as we begin the new decade.

In this episode, we’ll hear firsthand about some of the hurdles our guests faced—hurdles that are likely familiar to many of you listening in—and how they overcame them. We hope these lessons and insights will help you and other family planning professionals around the world improve your family planning programs.

In this episode, we introduce this season’s topic: What are the components of a successful family planning program? We then talk with guests from Afghanistan, Kenya, Mozambique, and Senegal, to explore the “secrets” to family planning success.
