Momentum Beyond Bogotá

ICFP 2025 did more than convene the global community—it accelerated partnerships, elevated new voices, and advanced solutions shaping the future of sexual and reproductive health and rights.
By Dr. Philip Anglewicz, Chair of the ICFP International Steering Committee and Director of the William H. Gates Sr. Institute (WHGI)

It was an honor for WHGI to organize the seventh International Conference on Family Planning (ICFP), held in Bogotá, Colombia, from 1–6 November, 2025. I want to take a moment to, once again, thank this extraordinary community and reflect on what we created together.

The highlights of the conference were numerous, from the sharing of scientific evidence, innovation, and best practices across multiple SRHR sectors to capacity strengthening and networking.

We invite you to page through this ICFP 2025 Impact Hub to explore key sessions, events, priorities, and outcomes in summary or detail. Several milestones stand out, underscoring the importance of the ICFP platform and conference to our global community of over 50,000 strong.

Media Coverage

In Bogotá, media was not just a tool to engage the world in our conversations, it was a strategic and deliberate force.

With 180+ media hits and 100+ journalists trained in solutions-focused reporting, there is momentum for unified narratives and stronger SRHR visibility at a critical global moment.

Reflections from ICFP Partners

Participants and partners highlighted ICFP 2025 as a catalyst for alignment, resilience, and visible global cohesion. Scroll through to read their reflections in their own words.

“Having these in-person touchpoints is crucial, considering that most of the work that we do is online and it’s rare that we actually have these opportunities. So for me, this is the SRHR convening of the field. This is where we are meeting.”

ICFP 2025 Sponsor

“…the impact of ICFP 2025 was high. It expanded visibility, fostered collaboration, and strengthened my commitment to advancing SRHR in ways that address both structural and cultural factors affecting vulnerable populations”

Sociology professional, research and academia (male, 30–39), Colombia
ICFP 2025 Attendee

“There was so much pride in the fact that this conference took place in Latin America for the first time, you could really feel it. People, myself included, were really exposed to the rich feminist history in the region.”

ICFP 2025 Sponsor

“The conference offered concrete examples of what works in low-resource, urban informal settings from youth-centered service delivery models to community and facility linkage approaches which we are already applying in our programming. It also strengthened partnerships, sharpened our advocacy messaging, and reinforced the importance of grounding family planning within rights-based, context-responsive, and community-led implementation.”

Public health professional, NGO (female, 60+), Kenya
ICFP 2025 Attendee

“ICFP 2025 was transformative for me: it sharpened my professional skills, expanded my collaborative network, and strengthened my advocacy efforts. The conference not only advanced my individual capacity but also positioned me to contribute more effectively to regional and global SRHR priorities.”

Public health professional, research and academia (female, 50–59), Egypt
ICFP 2025 Attendee

“ICFP 2025 also advanced political and financial commitment to SRHR, with country delegations and funders expressing clear support for programs, partnerships, and policy initiatives. It facilitated the establishment of new partnerships and collaborations, connecting regional youth networks, NGOs, and academic institutions, while providing concrete opportunities to enhance program implementation and advocacy work.

Social work professional, program implementation (male, 25–29), Côte d’Ivoire
ICFP 2025 Attendee

“Our collective voice is loudest when implementation meets equity and evidence meets ownership.”

Dr. Ufuoma Festus Omo-Obi 
ICFP 2025 Program Implementation Co-chair

“A defining moment was witnessing Colombia formally announce its commitment to the FP2030 alliance on the stage at the closing ceremony. While this milestone reflects years of tireless advocacy by Latin American partners and allies, it powerfully demonstrated what is possible when movements align, persist, and act collectively toward shared goals.”

Natalie Apcar
ICFP 2025 A&A Subcommittee Co-chair

“Advancing gender equality is not only a matter of rights but a macroeconomic imperative with transformative benefits for national development.”

Mahesh Karra
ICFP 2025 DD Subcommittee Co-chair; Columbia University

“I think it was a very enriching event, especially because it was a multicultural space that allowed us to compare different realities in terms of sexual and reproductive health.”

“Part of what makes the conference so worthwhile is the huge diversity of issues and participants.”

ICFP 2025 Sponsor

“As a person working in SRHR advocacy, I benefited from listening to and engaging with the range of stakeholders in attendance (including funders/donors, program/service deliverers, researchers and other advocates). Listening to the presentations and perspectives of experts who are leaders in their fields was particularly useful to support my work in advocacy and to help my organisation work more strategically.

NGO professional (female, 50–59), Australia
ICFP 2025 Attendee

“There is nowhere on earth that is immune to crisis: threats of climate change, conflict and violence, erosion of rights, spread of disinformation, and shrinking access to resources to help those in need. The SRH in humanitarian settings community is uniquely placed to connect these worlds and offer solutions that are relevant to everyone.”

Ashley Wolfington
ICFP 2025 Humanitarian and Crisis Settings Subcommittee Co-chair

“Beyond the event itself, ICFP now thrives as a digital platform, connecting researchers, governments, and communities year-round. This hybrid model ensures advocacy and knowledge-sharing continue well past the conference. In essence, ICFP’s impact is both symbolic and practical: it sets the agenda, drives accountability, and empowers diverse voices to push SRHRJ forward.”

Public health professional, NGO (male, 40–49), Ethiopia,
ICFP 2025 Attendee

“For us, ICFP is a catalyst that transforms global discourse into concrete, community-led actions and sustained advocacy across all levels of society”

Public health professional, NGO (female, 50–59), Indonesia,
ICFP 2025 Attendee

“ICFP 2025 had high impact across multiple areas of my work…The conference strengthened how I translate SRHR evidence into accessible narratives by exposing me to new research, implementation models, and rights-based framing that I now apply in media and communication work”

Public health professional (female, 20–29), Nigeria
ICFP 2025 Attendee

“I think that [the conference] signaled a very big message: we’re not going to be silenced, we’re not going to be demoralized. I think that was incredibly important for people to come together for. It’s real solidarity and visible, tangible cohesion.”

The Equity Pause Checklist

A Critical Tool for Advancing Equity in SRHR

When was the last time you paused to ask if equity is truly guiding your work?

The Equity Pause is a regular practice that creates intentional space to slow down, to reflect on equity in action within our work, and to challenge and refine our priorities and actions based on these reflections

The ICFP Power Shifting Subcommittee created the Equity Pause Checklist to help you lead those reflective moments! The checklist suggests seven main questions to help deepen your reflections and spark critical discussions, all in service to more equity through action. Download the checklist in English, French, and Spanish below.
