Supportive government policies
"Governments play a very critical role [in family planning], in terms of framing policies, planning for adequate programs, making the necessary investments... and also that is is seen as intergral to development planning."
-Purnima Mane, UNFPA
Family planning programs need political support to operate successfully. Supportive family planning policies help programs succeed by:
- Establishing favorable laws and regulations
- Assuring availability of contraceptive supplies
- Allocating adequate financial resources
- Supporting public access to family planning information and services.
