Rwanda played host to the fifth International Conference on Family Planning, which saw the release of a new report on the status of family planning in the world, and on the continent.
The report, FP2020: Catalyzing Collaboration, produced by Family Planning 2020, indicated that there has been an increase in contraception use in the world, with more than 317 million women and girls currently choosing to use a modern method of contraception.
