This is a six-month learning grant focused on financing surveillance and pandemic preparedness and response (PPR). It aims to generate insights on increasing country commitment to sustainable financing of surveillance and PPR in Africa, particularly in Kenya and Zambia. The project, led by AFIDEP and Globesolute and funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, addresses inadequate health investments in African countries through evidence generation, high-level diplomacy, and technical support.

Family planning (FP) is more than a health intervention—it’s a strategic tool for socio-economic development. While its health benefits are well-known, the economic impact—especially for women— has been harder to quantify. As a result, family planning initiatives often focus on contraceptive access and fertility reduction, with limited emphasis on how these investments empower women economically and contribute to broader national development. The FP-Impact Consortium fills this gap with new evidence on the economic returns of FP.  Download here
