Director of the Institute of Health Economics of Dhaka University Syed Abdul Hamid said, Bangladesh is still far behind achieving the indicators of the Family Planning 2020, popularly known as FP2020. Family planning is one of them. We also need to know how much is needed to achieve the target and where should we give emphasis.”“For smart investment, you need these information before making a decision. The Bangladesh government spends $224.6 million in family planning services, which is 66 percent of the total need, Hamid said. But the missing link is there is no fund for policy advocacy which is important for family planning services, he said.
