A new FP2030’s 2022 Measurement Report released at the International Conference on Family Planning says that in the last year alone, women’s use of contraception in low- and lower-middle-income countries has averted more than 141 million unintended pregnancies, 29 million unsafe abortions and almost 150,000 maternal deaths.
The new data released at a press briefing by the International Conference on Family Planning was accompanied by commitments from governments, including the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), and the announcement of a historic new five-year pledge to FP2030 of US$15 million from the United States Agency for International Development (USAID).
