  1. HANDtoHAND Campaign:reducing unmet need for family planning by 100 million new users by 2015 John P Skibiak, Director Reproductive Health Supplies Coalition Brussels, Belgium

  2. The price tag of failing to address unmet need for family planning: • 53 million unwanted pregnancies • 390,000 maternal deaths • 1.6 million newborn deaths • 14.5 million unsafe abortions

  3. The deadlock: unmet need for family planning since 1995

  4. Global Strategy for Women’s and Children’s Health • Country-led health plans, supported by increased, predictable and sustainable investment • Integrated delivery of health services and life-saving interventions • Access prevention, treatment and care • Stronger health systems, with skilled health workers. • Innovative approaches to financing, product development and efficient health service delivery • Improved monitoring and evaluation to ensure the accountability of all actors for results.

  5. Reducing unmet need by 100 million new users will mean: • 56 million fewer unintended pregnancies • 54 million fewer abortions • 110,000 fewer mothers dying in pregnancy and childbirth • 1.4 million fewer infant deaths • meeting the family planning needs of 80% of all women in low- and middle-income countries

  6. HANDtoHAND commitments can take many shapes and forms: • Financial resources • Price reductions • Program and policy changes • New research • New strategic partnerships

  7. A new Global Alliance “You can count on the United States and the Obama administration’s commitments to the successful achievement of this initiative” Hillary Clinton “We are doubling the resources we devote from within our ring-fenced development budget as it rises to 0.7% of national income from 2013” Nick Clegg “Our foundation has committed over 1.5 billion dollars in the next 5 years to support nutrition, family planning, maternal, newborn and child’s health programs” Melinda Gates “For Australia, we will now invest 1.6 billion dollars in maternal and child health programmes to 2015” Kevin Rudd

  8. Member commitments to date • Advance Family Planning • APROFAM • Bayer Schering Pharma • CIES-UNAN • CLAE • Crown Agents • DFID • DKT • Family Health International • IPPF • John Snow, Inc • Merck/MSD • Marie Stopes International • Netherlands MoFA • Population Action International • PATH • Pathfinder • Population Council • PRISMA • Population Services International • UN Foundation • UNFPA • USAID • WomanCare Global

  9. Unpacking HANDtoHAND • Shape commitments by “unpacking” the 100 million metric • Incentivize commitments by defining program needs and facilitating access to resources • Monitor progress towards 100 million • Ensure commitments are met through meaningful support and effective communication

  10. Millions of women are reaching out—we are pledging our support to help put the power in their hands. Join us. www.RHsupplies.org
