World Population Day - Focusing on family planning
Increased access to family planning information and services can help reduce maternal deaths by 30 percent annually and achieve the Sustainable Development Goals. SHOPS Plus works to achieve universal access to family planning products and services by working with the private health sector. On World Population Day, we highlight our work in Nigeria, and feature a recent publication on integrating family planning into universal health coverage efforts.

The project is conducting trainings that equip providers with the skills to deliver high quality family planning services in a manner that promotes client choice and empowerment. Learn more.
