Challenge 2:
Serving Youth
Not just new services but also new attitudes, new policies, and new approaches are needed to meet the reproductive health needs of young people (see Young People in Chapter 2.3).

Challenge 3:
Adopting a Reproductive Health Care Approach
Family planning programs seek to address a wider range of reproductive health care needs, such as safe childbirth and control of sexually transmitted diseases (see The Challenge of Reproductive Health Care).

Challenge 4:
Finding Adequate Funding
Meeting existing and future demand for services requires more support for family planning and reproductive health programs from national governments and international donor agencies (see Financial Resources).
