• Refine the value proposition for advocacy for FP in developed countries, with a focus on North America and Europe. 
• Recommend a cohesive and proactive plan for advancing the rights-based family planning and SRHR agenda, addressing challenges posed by the anti-rights movement and opposition.
• Align global advocacy priorities with other FP2030 strategies, such as the advocacy and accountability framework, youth strategy, gender strategy, emergency preparedness and response strategy, and private sector strategy.
