Making Quality Matter

The 2022 Quality Innovation Challenge

The fourth Quality Innovation Challenge (QIC) is an open grant submission process to solicit creative ideas to advance everyone’s right to quality sexual and reproductive healthcare. Applicants must be attending the 2022 International Conference on Family Planning (ICFP) in person or virtually. Applications are available in French and English.

Access to quality sexual reproductive health care is a fundamental right for every woman and girl, no matter where she lives in the world.

Quality reproductive health care is woman-centered. It means:

Knowledge. She understands her body and feels empowered to keep herself healthy with accurate, unbiased information about sexuality and reproductive health.

Choices. She gets care that is centered around her life and goals—and decides whether and when to have children, chooses from a full range of contraceptive options, and can obtain safe and legal abortion and follow-up care without stigma or interference.

Power. She shapes her own destiny—making decisions about her health and wellbeing that empower her at home, at the clinic, and in the community.

Our grantees provide access to comprehensive information, services, and skills that help women and girls—and the men and boys in their lives—secure their right to the quality sexual and reproductive health care they want, need, and deserve.

Quality Innovation Challenge Awardees

The Quality Innovation Challenge supports visionary and youth-led innovators, providers, advocates, and researchers who are courageous in their pursuit to advance everyone’s right to quality sexual and reproductive health care.

The Packard Foundation launched the third Quality Innovation Challenge at the International Conference on Family Planning in Kigali, Rwanda in 2018. The Foundation named nine awardees in 2019 sourced from the conference.

The Foundation supported Quality Innovation Challenges at the International Conference on Family Planning in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia in 2013 and in Nusa Dua, Indonesia in 2016. Thus far, the Foundation has made 27 grants totaling nearly $1.9 million to fund innovations sourced at ICFP meetings.
