The Family Planning News Network (FPNN) is headed to Lilongwe, Malawi from May 22nd to May 26th, 2024 for the first inaugural FPNN reporting trip. This trip is possible through partnership with the 2025 International Conference on Family Planning (ICFP), W. H. Gates Sr. Institute for Population and Reproductive Health (WHGI) at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, and the Ntha Foundation based in Lilongwe, to showcase the transformative power of family planning and reproductive health investments across Malawi.

Today, on the 21st of April, 2024, we celebrate World Creativity and Innovation Day, a day dedicated to recognizing the transformative power of creativity and innovation in shaping our world for the better. It’s a day to honor the ingenuity, resourcefulness, and limitless potential of human imagination.

The World Creativity and Innovation Day 2024 celebration, hosted by His Excellency Rune Skinnebach, the Ambassador of the European Union Delegation to Malawi, in partnership with the Ntha Foundation, was a resounding success.
