📆: 3-6 November, 2025
Tiko is thrilled to be attending the annual International Conference on Family Planning (ICFP) this year in Colombia. The theme for 2025 is Equity Through Action: Advancing Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights for All.
We’ll be joining the global family planning community at ICFP2025 to propose innovative solutions and concrete commitments to address health and entrenched inequalities worldwide, especially those relating to sexual and reproductive health.
Tiko’s focus at ICFP
As an African international non-governmental organisation, at ICFP2025 we are highlighting the need for smart, innovative investment solutions that can effectively tackle the ‘Triple Threat’ which more than 120 million girls across sub-Saharan Africa face every day: sexual and gender-based violence, unintended pregnancy and HIV.

Where you can find us
The Youth Lounge
We’ve got a busy conference schedule this year including co-sponsoring the brilliant Youth Lounge, a hang out space where young people come together, network and share their challenges and ideas around championing sexual and reproductive health and rights.
Booth 82
We’ll be at Booth 82 throughout the conference. Come and chat to us about our ‘Triple Threat’ approach, enabled by technology, that puts girls right at the centre of their health and wellbeing choices.
