Overview

FP2030 is the only global partnership dedicated exclusively to advancing rights-based family planning. The partnership brings together governments, civil society, multilaterals, donors, the private sector, and other stakeholders to expand access to voluntary, rights-based family planning information and services. By situating family planning at the intersection of global health, development, and gender equality agendas, FP2030 works to support the rights of women and girls to decide freely and for themselves whether, when, and how many children to have. FP2030 also serves as a platform for convening, coordination, information sharing, and collective action across the broader sexual and reproductive health and rights community.

The Senior Associate leads coordination with the faith community, including supporting the Faith and Family Planning Working Group, and contributes to FP2030’s anti-rights response efforts through coordination with partners addressing opposition to sexual and reproductive health and rights.
