"More than 200 million women today in the world still don't have access to family planning," Musimbi Kanyoro, director of the Population and Reproductive Health Program at the David and Lucile Packard Foundation, tells ECSP Director Geoff Dabelko following a discussion on the future of family planning at the Woodrow Wilson Center. Her organization is "trying to meet those needs of women—and men—who would like to delay a pregnancy [and] not have a pregnancy at all."

Development programs that emphasize both population and environmental goals will be the next step. While Kanyoro noted some successes, such as population and environmental projects in Madagascar, she also said, "There are many such small programs that one can point to, but they don't make a forest yet. They are mere mushrooms."
