Girls' Globe: Why women march to the Nairobi Summit on ICPD25

Private sector partners commit billions to help advance ICPD agenda

Private sector organizations including the Ford Foundation, Johnson & Johnson, Philips, World Vision and many others announced today at the Nairobi Summit on ICPD25 they will mobilize some $8 billion in combined new pledges to achieve zero preventable maternal deaths, zero unmet need for family planning, zero gender-based violence and harmful practices by 2030. A wide range of partners – from health care and technology companies to private foundations, international NGOs and sports leaders – have stepped up with commitments to advance women's, children’s and adolescents' health and well-being, including sexual and reproductive health and rights. 

New study shows ending maternal deaths, gender-based violence and unmet family planning needs is affordable, within reach
