Minister for Health, Hon. Mintah Akandoh, on May 30, launched the FP2030 Made Possible by Family Planning campaign.

Ghana has become the first among 12 African countries to launch the campaign, which is part of the global FP2030 partnership that aims to ensure access to voluntary, rights-based family planning for 120 million more women and girls by 2030.

At the launch, the health minister described the moment as a celebration of Ghana’s progress and pledged bold steps to close funding gaps.

"We have worked hard to improve access to contraception and reproductive health services. Today’s launch is a reaffirmation of our commitment to the future," Hon. Akandoh said.

Ghana has, since 1960, established the National Family Planning Programme to improve overall health and well-being by providing access to contraception and other reproductive health services.

The campaign highlights how family planning can improve health, expand educational and economic opportunities, advance gender equality, and accelerate national development.

FP2030 (formerly Family Planning 2020) is a core convening partner on the High Impact Practices for Family Planning.

The vision of FP2030 is a FP2030 is based on four guiding principles: voluntary, person-centered, rights-based approaches, with equity at the core; empowering women and girls and engaging men, boys, and communities; building intentional and equitable partnerships with adolescents, youth, and marginalized populations to meet their needs, including for accurate and disaggregated data collection and use; and country-led global partnerships, with shared learning and mutual accountability for commitments and results.

Director of the Family Health Division, Dr. Kennedy T. C. Brightson, emphasized that family planning is a shared responsibility and critical to boosting national productivity.

The event brought together partners who pledged their commitment to reproductive health and accountability.

FP2030’s five regional hubs work together to make up the FP2030 Support Network—the largest community of practice of rights-based family planning advocates in the world.

As of July 2023, $1.47 billion was provided from donor governments to family planning.

As of July 2024, there were 602 million adolescents and youth across low and lower-middle-income families.

From July 2023 to July 2024, 143 million unintended pregnancies were averted due to modern contraception.
