Beyond parallel programmes: a roadmap for operational integration of family planning and nutrition in low- and middle-income countries

Year: 2026

Type: conference-abstract

Abstract: In low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), family planning (FP) and nutrition services are frequently delivered in isolation despite their clear interdependence as determinants of women’s health across the life course. 1 2 As the 2030 Sustainable Development Goal deadline approaches, and given the indivisible nature of goal 2 (zero hunger), goal 3 (good health and well-being) and goal 5 (gender equality), there is renewed urgency to move beyond parallel programming.3
