Malawi at the ICFP 2022 | Let’s Network!

Since the first ICFP in Kampala, Uganda in 2009, the International Conference on Family Planning (ICFP) has served as a strategic inflection point for the global reproductive health community, providing a global stage for countries, organizations, and individuals to make important commitments and celebrate achievements as the world’s largest scientific conference on family planning and reproductive health.

ICFP has become much more than a conference – it has grown into a platform for researchers, advocates, governments and communities; a movement towards achieving access to family planning for all; and a growing community guided by the spirit of partnership, inclusivity, innovation and scientific rigor.

As the larger family planning community looks “beyond 2020” to realign its goals and reposition for the future of family planning, ICFP 2022 will be a strategic benchmark as the community prepares to recommit to a goal of universal access by 2030.

Malawians are very much represented at the 2022 International Conference on Family Planning.

We at Ntha Foundation are also here, represented by our community manager, Victor Gondwe. Find out below on activities Malawians are engaging in and how you can catch up with them at the ICFP in Pattaya, Thailand!
