From Commission on Smart Global Health Policy Wed Apr 23 2014, 18:41:48

"Investing in family planning is investing in the future." These words from Ethiopian health official, Dr. Tewodros Bekele, summarize key findings of a new CSIS video and report about family planning in Ethiopia. Despite enduring challenges, Ethiopia has made measurable progress in advancing family planning.
