Join @fhi360, @unfoundation and partners for "Family Planning +SocialGood"
TODAY by following #ICFPLive #socialgood http://t.co/HZW2G3iGbs— +SocialGood (@plus_socialgood) November 12, 2013
Today, running up to the International Conference on Family Planning, FHI 360, UN Foundation and the Packard Foundation hosted the Family Planning +Social Good – a conversation about how technology and innovative thinking are advancing family planning goals and objectives.
Girls’ Globe was thrilled to be an active part of the event, that I also had the honor of facilitating.
Here are some social media snapshots of the Family Planning +Social Good conversation
+social good brings together technology, new/old media to advance family planning and women's health through innovation #ICFPLive @FHI360
