OUR STRATEGY
Reproductive health and family planning can positively influence and advance the newly laid out Sustainable Development Goals by addressing multiple targets and ushering in an era of development. Access to voluntary family planning has the potential to save lives and help break the cycle of poverty, stabilize population growth and ease the pressure on the environment. It is the most cost-effective development investment.

We believe that health, education and wellbeing of the population is crucial for sustaining just, equitable economic growth and development. For that to happen, change has to happen at three levels – individual, social and systemic or policy levels, ensuring that the country offers a conducive and enabling policy environment for girls and women to claim their rights, agencies of youth to be involved in demanding and supporting efficient and accountable governance and informed policy makers to inspire a vibrant future. PFI will act as a catalyst, a facilitator to offer compelling evidence-based scholarship, thought leadership and convention to inform, inspire and initiate actions that will contribute to and strengthen our national plans and priorities. We will realize our mission by building leadership and public accountability, influencing social norms, reframing public discourse and collaborating with national and global initiatives in population studies and family planning. We believe that our mission will significantly contribute to India’s commitment to achieving Sustainable Development Goals and FP2030 targets.
