Webinar | Stronger Together: Innovations and Opportunities Shaping the Future of Contraception

What is next for contraceptive choice? 

To mark World Contraception Day 2026, we warmly invite you to join us for an engaging webinar celebrating the ideas, innovations, and partnerships helping shape the future of contraception and sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR). 

While the contraception and SRHR community has faced significant headwinds in recent years, there is also much to build on—and real reason for optimism. Around the world, dedicated practitioners continue to expand access, promising research is advancing, and cross-sector partnerships are showing how collaboration can drive meaningful progress. This session will bring together leading voices to share what is working, highlight emerging opportunities, and reflect on how we can move forward together. 

Co-hosted by EngenderHealth, Gates Institute, Population Council, and Bayer, this collaborative event will feature expert speakers from diverse backgrounds, including program implementation, biomedical research, social science, and the private sector—offering a broad view of the innovations and partnerships driving progress in contraception and reproductive health.

EngenderHealth’s Grace Miheso will share lessons from Kenya on expanding method choice and building services that can last. 

More than a webinar, this will be an opportunity to celebrate progress, exchange perspectives, and strengthen collaboration across the field. We hope you will join us to explore promising developments, connect with colleagues who share your commitment to reproductive health, and contribute to a shared vision for the future. 

We look forward to you joining us in marking World Contraception Day with energy, expertise, and a shared vision for the future.
