Where to find us: IRH at the International Conference on Family Planning, 2018

We’ll see you November 11th – 15th! 

As IRH prepares for the the International Conference on Family Planning 2018 in Kigali, Rwanda, we want to ensure that our many partners and colleagues know where they can find us during the conference. We have a number of exciting presentations, panels and posters to share that highlight our recent research and programs, and share lessons learned. We will also be hosting an exhibit in booth number 71.

For those unable to attend, keep up with the conference only using the hashtag #ICFP2018, by following @IRH_GU, and through the Virtual Conference Program on Facebook.
