The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) make specific references to family planning in regard to health and well-being gender equality and women’s empowerment. Ensuring that all women and adolescent girls have access to high-quality rights-based family planning services contributes towards achieving these goals and realizing targets related to other SDGs. Accelerated fertility decline through effective family planning programmes slows rapid population growth contributing towards the SDGs related to the economy environment and development. This brief summarises evidence on the benefits of family planning for girls and women their children families and societies. It also provides evidence on the cost-effectiveness of family planning programmes; discusses reasons for unmet need for contraception and identifies ways to reduce unmet need and discontinuation; and describes progress in meeting FP2020 and the Sustainable Development Goals.
