What is ICFP?
Since its inaugural convening in Kampala, Uganda in 2009, the International Conference on Family Planning (ICFP) has become a pivotal catalyst in sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) globally.
Much more than a conference, ICFP has evolved into a digital platform resonating with researchers, health equity champions, governments, and local communities alike. It is a dynamic movement propelling universal family planning access, underpinned by a vibrant community fueled by collaboration, inclusivity, innovation, and scientific integrity. ICFP serves as a strategic inflection point for nations, institutions, and individuals seeking to pledge commitments and celebrate successes in SRHR.
You are invited to join this global platform, movement, and community for the 7th ICFP happening 3–6 November 2025 in Bogotá, Colombia—the first time the conference is taking place in the Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) region.
Emerging directly from the ICFP community, the ICFP 2025 theme, “Equity Through Action: Advancing Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights for All,” calls for innovative solutions and concrete commitments to address health and systemic inequities worldwide.
Experience ICFP’s dynamic program featuring plenaries, panel discussions, debates, skill-building workshops, side events, pre-conferences, and interactive sessions. Attendees can delve into the latest SRHR research, evidence, and strategies while connecting with a vibrant network of professionals.
Whether your goal is to share knowledge, build partnerships, or drive meaningful action, ICFP reflects our collective commitment to safeguarding reproductive health and advancing the principles of partnership, progress, and empowerment.

From Conference to Platform
How the World's Largest Scientific Community of Family Planning and SRHR Professionals Has Learned, Grown, and Evolved
As the world grappled with the COVID-19 pandemic, the ICFP community demonstrated exceptional leadership by conducting groundbreaking research, devising innovative solutions, and forging partnerships to advance family planning and reproductive health and rights despite unprecedented challenges.
To foster greater collaboration and adapt to the changing landscape, the ICFP community recognized the need for a new approach. This led to the development of an evolving, multi-sectoral platform that goes beyond the traditional biennial conference model to better serve the community’s needs.
Over the past four years, ICFP has undergone a remarkable transformation. This vibrant movement is united by a shared belief that everyone deserves access to high-quality family planning services, products, and information.
It has also become an engaging, informative, and inspiring platform that brings together a diverse group of family planning advocates, researchers, political and faith leaders, and program implementers of all ages.
