Valerie DeFillipo has been appointed as Director by the Family Planning 2020 (FP2020) Reference Group.
“FP2020 was created to support the rights of an additional 120 million women and girls in the world's poorest countries to use contraceptive information, services, and supplies, without coercion or discrimination, by 2020, continuing the momentum started at the ground-breaking 2012 London Summit on Family Planning.
“Valerie DeFillipo brings technical family planning expertise, experience leading global multi-stakeholder partnerships, and a deep commitment to using FP2020 as a platform to strengthen existing structures providing family planning and contraceptives to vulnerable women and girls around the world. She is currently the President of the Friends of the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA).”
As Director she will be responsible for implementing the vision set by the 18-member Reference Group and coordinate the inputs from the four technical Working Groups: Country Engagement, Market Dynamics, Performance Monitoring and Accountability, and Rights and Empowerment.
