Convened by FP2030 the PME WG provides technical advice and support for monitoring progress towards FP2030 goals, promotes the use of data for decision-making, and contributes to the improvement and understanding of quantitative measures and evidence in key dimensions of family planning, including the FP2030 measurement framework.
