The Building Capacity for Integrated Family Planning/Reproductive Health and Population, Environment and Development Action (BUILD) project will be hosting a virtual dialogue forum on the People-Planet Connection Discourse platform from August 16th to 18th 2022.
The dialogue forum will bring together population, environment and development (PED) professionals around the globe for the 3-day event under the theme “Integrated voluntary Family Planning/Reproductive Health and PED intersection: empowering governments and organizations to seek collective results.”
Evidence from several projects shows that an integrated approach can effectively address population, health, livelihood, and natural resource challenges in communities. However, PED stakeholders need to accelerate the production of evidence-informed activities to provide a broadened spectrum to better communicate the full picture and benefits of PED programs to bolster the case for greater investments in these integrated approaches by governments and organizations.
People-Planet Connection is a website supported by United States Agency for International Development (USAID) that dedicated to the exchange of knowledge, resources, and experiences related to PED policy, research, and implementation.
