    The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) has issued a Request for Information (RFI) concerning a new family planning activity in Egypt, aligning with the Government of Egypt's National Population Strategy and "Egypt Vision 2030." The RFI seeks input from stakeholders on innovative family planning practices to enhance health outcomes and addresses key issues such as service accessibility, misinformation, and socio-cultural barriers influencing women's use of family planning methods. To inform this initiative, USAID is collecting evidence-based solutions and concrete examples by posing targeted questions regarding successful strategies to reduce method discontinuation and improve counseling approaches. Discussions from prior group sessions in the Fayoum and Sohag governorates illustrate multiple challenges faced by women in accessing family planning—such as distances to health clinics, costs, societal pressures, and the availability of trusted information. The document emphasizes the importance of unique contextual insights in shaping future family planning services, with a focus on integrating technology and community engagement to address these barriers effectively.
