Track20 is working to track country-level family planning expenditures by combining information from four sources:

• Kaiser Family Foundation (KFF), collects data from the largest donors on financial flows for family planning.
• WHO, which uses a System of Health Accounts (SHA) framework which produces data on total health expenditures as well as RNMCH expenditures, to which the category of family planning expenditures has been added.
• UNFPA's Family Planning Expenditures Tracking surveys (administered by Netherlands Interdisciplinary Demographic Institute (NIDI)). NIDI issues a questionnaire that collects expenditures on specific projects such as family planning.
• Track20's Family Planning Spending Assessment (FPSA), a new expenditure tracking method that considers resource flow of both financial and non-financial resources - whether public, private or foreign - from their origin to the end point of service delivery, among the different institutions involved.
• The Institute for Health Metrics Evaluation (IHME), uses the data from WHO/SHA, UNFPA/NIDI and Track20 along with other information to fit regression models that estimate domestic government FP expenditures over time for each country, including those without independent estimates.

Data from the these and other initiatives are being used to prepare the best possible annual estimates of family planning expenditures by country and globally.

For country estimates, Track20's Monitoring and Evaluation Officers (MEOs) work with local UNFPA offices and government stakeholders to present and discuss the FP Expenditure data during the annual validation meetings of the annual FP indicators.
