FEATURED STORIES

13th Rafael M. Salas Golf Cup changes format due to Covid-19 pandemic The Salas Golf Cup changes its event format for this year due to the pandemic. With the theme “Complete Healing from Covid-19”, this year’s staging will be 100% virtual with the support of the event’s annual partners and sponsors.

Rafael M. Salas began a population management program that did not even mention sex, contraception, or abortion, but provided a broad perspective of people and development, and urged countries to adopt a population policy that centers on people and quality of life regardless of faiths and beliefs.

The Forum for Family Planning and Development, Inc. will ever be grateful to all our modern heroes in the frontline amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. We are honored to be able to provide personal protective suits and masks to our Sulong RH Project partners.
ABOUT US
ADVOCATING FOR A CAUSE
_____________
Established in 2004, The Forum is a non stock, non profit and non governmental organization composed of experts, well known personalities and supporters of population management, health, nutrition and family welfare, who are highly committed to make a difference in people’s lives.
It works with existing local alliances and networks with similar advocacies. The Forum supports and strengthens institutional linkages with the private and business sectors and academic community through advocacy, capacity-building and awareness-raising initiatives.
VISION
_____________
The Forum is a leading voice in the advocacy of national policies on population management, health, nutrition, and family welfare and in the provision of universal access to information and service for all Filipinos especially the poor and the youth.
MISSION
_____________
It encourages the active involvement of key stakeholders in the provision of information, advice and services in reproductive health and nutrition as critical element in the economy and society’s well being.
ISSUE
_____________
The specific issues that The Forum addresses is the acute dearth of information and services on population management, health, nutrition and family welfare for the underserved population. While efforts had been made to solve this problem in the past, the ability to adequately and continuously meet this need is overtaken by yearly increases in population.
GOAL
_____________
To resolve this critical issue, The Forum will bridge this information and service gaps among the poor and the youth, on population management, health, nutrition and family welfare in selected areas of the country. This will be accomplished by enlisting the voluntary assistance of prominent people in the private sector, as well as in the academe.
STRATEGIES
_____________
First, it sets up a roster of well know individuals to help managers and implementors of population management, health, nutrition and family welfare programs;
Second, it draws assistance from international, national and local associations and appropriate agencies to support the roster of experts and its activities; and
Third, it develops youth and future community leaders by encouraging their participation in the Forum-initiated population management, health, nutrition and family welfare through capacity-building and advocacy interventions including strategic leadership training and communication programs.
The Forum serves as a platform in the Philippines and in Asia where the best minds will debate and draw attention to these critical issues of population management, health, nutrition and family welfare.
ACTIVITIES
_____________
It has mounted a two-pronged advocacy program: one that focuses on the top-level decision makers of academic institutions and chief executive officers (CEOs) of business and industry including labor organizations; the other that focuses on community leaders, youth and influential persons, particularly heads of civil society organizations (CSOs). The purpose of this program is to advocate for private sector leadership and participation, mobilization and resource generation.
It has endeavored to make issues relating to population management, health, nutrition and family welfare an integral part of existing and future programs and initiatives of government and private sector.
It serves as a resource center for information services and capacity-building and aims to make this institution a center of excellence. In doing this, it collaborates and networks with the government, CSOs including youth and media to address the aforementioned issues.
