In June 2024, the MOMENTUM Knowledge Accelerator Project, FP2030, and the William H. Gates Sr. Institute for Population and Reproductive Health at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health (the Organizing Committee) jointly hosted a convening, “Centering Locally-Driven Family Planning Measurement Priorities in the Global Measurement Agenda,” in Nairobi, Kenya. Funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the convening aimed to elevate the voices of country-based family planning (FP) actors in the global FP measurement discourse. From June 25–27, over 50 program implementers, monitoring and evaluation (M&E) officers, statistical officers, and local researchers from 22 countries came together to discuss challenges, gaps, emerging approaches, and technical assistance needs in FP measurement at the global, national, subnational, and community levels. The Nairobi convening is designed to serve as a launch-point for an ongoing effort to advance FP measurement through multidirectional learning and exchange between country and global stakeholders, the FP Measurement Advancement Convening Series, or “FP-MACS.”
