Summary:Family planning improves the health and overall well-being of women and families around the world. In 2010, a summary of the evidence showed family planning's connection to all eight Millennium Development Goals. Simultaneously, the international community has shifted its focus towards a post-2015 development agenda that widens the lens from primarily micro-level social development to include macro-level economic, sustainability and governmental objectives. It is also clear that access to family planning has a beneficial impact on several of the newly proposed global development objectives. By ensuring that universal access to family planning is included in the post-2015 development agenda, everyone can accelerate progress and fulfil their promises to the next generation.
