The International Conference on Family Planning (ICFP) is the world’s largest gathering of family planning and reproductive health professionals. Since the first ICFP in Kampala, Uganda in 2009, the conference has served as a strategic inflection point for the global reproductive health community.
The Breakthrough ACTION + RESEARCH teams attended the 2022 conference in Pattaya City, Thailand to share how social and behavior change improves family planning programs. Download the presentations to learn more about the work of Breakthrough ACTION + RESEARCH.

What’s SBC got to do with it? Five ways social and behavior change can transform your family planning program
To transform family planning programs, we must use every tool available to us. That includes social and behavior change, an essential component in achieving family planning goals. Social and behavior change has been shown to increase successful outcomes in family planning and demonstrates a high return on investment. Social and behavior change also complements service delivery investments before, during, and after services.
Still not persuaded? Join Breakthrough ACTION and RESEARCH for an interactive program to learn how you can use social and behavior change to transform your family planning program. You will explore evidence, tools, and learnings to help you answer these five pressing questions:
- How can I improve family planning quality of care and provider behavior?
- How can I meet the unique family planning needs of youth?
- How do I know if SBC is impactful and cost-effective?
- How can I address gender and social barriers to family planning use and ensure equity in my program?
- How can I use social and behavior change to integrate family planning efficiently and effectively with other health issues?
Come and see what social and behavior change has to do with transforming your family planning program!
