The Summit will call for unprecedented global political commitments and resources that will enable 120 million more women and girls to use contraceptives by 2020, with partners working closely together across a range of areas, such as:

• Increasing the demand and support for family planning
• Improving supply chains, systems and service delivery models
• Procuring the additional commodities countries need to reach their goals
• Fostering innovative approaches to family planning challenges
• Promoting accountability through improved monitoring and evaluation.
