Capitalising on shared goals for family planning: a concordance assessment of two global initiatives using longitudinal statistical models.

Closer coordination between major stakeholders in international family planning may stimulate more efficient mobilisation and utilisation of global sources, which is urgently needed to accelerate the progress toward satisfying women's need for family planning.
