These commitments are reflected in the continuing advocacy for increasing the budget allocated to family planning and the mobilization of additional resources and the planning of these resources within new projects funded by the World Bank, and the AFD’s (French Development Agency] project (support for an obstetrical plan and the strengthening of the healthcare system). The Ministry of Health has, with its partners, also organized a day of resource mobilization, where the partners have committed to finance the national plan to reposition family planning.
