The Family Planning Effort Index (FPE) is a long-standing measure that quantifies the strength of national Family Planning Programs. The FPE has been collected periodically since 1972, and provides results across four key components: policies, services, evaluation, and access. The index was developed to measure the level of effort that goes into FP programs, and to track how this changes over time.
