CIP Resource Kit

Newer CIP resources are available from the HP+ CIP toolkit.

This guide distills the experience of technical experts, governments, and donors in developing costed implementation plans (CIPs) for family planning into a 10-step process, implemented in three phases: planning, development, and execution.

This tool provides an overview of the complete CIP process, including details on each of the 10 steps and sub-steps, and illustrates how and when specific tools and approaches can be applied. This guide is the foundational document of the CIP Resource Kit, which can be accessed at http://www.familyplanning2020.org/cip.

Countries have developed costed implementation plans (CIPs) for family planning (FP) using a variety of approaches and tools. As CIPs become a more common tool for planning and mobilizing resources, standardization of their format and development process can help promote accountability and ensure that all key components are considered.

This checklist presents recommended thematic areas and standards to guide overall CIP development. These areas include demand creation; service delivery and access; contraceptive security; policy and enabling environment; financing; and stewardship, management, and accountability.

This document provides background information on costed implementation plans (CIPs) for family planning, including information on what the plans typically include and how CIPs can help governments translate their FP commitments and goals into concrete programs and policies.

Effective development of a costed implementation plan (CIP) requires a country-led, systematic, and highly participatory process, involving a range of stakeholders and technical experts led by the Ministry of Health. While the CIP team’s exact make-up, responsibilities, and relationships should be tailored to the country’s context, this document presents the key recommended groups and positions needed for CIP development, along with proposed scopes of work. Responsibilities for plan implementation and monitoring are assigned and documented in the CIP technical strategy.

Additional guidance on developing a CIP can be found in the document "Costed Implementation Plans for Family Planning: 10-Step Process for CIP Planning, Development, and Execution," which is part of the CIP Resource Kit, and can be accessed at http://www.familyplanning2020.org/cip.

A newer version of this product is available on the HP+ website.

The Family Planning CIP Costing Tool helps countries understand the costs associated with implementing the detailed roadmap of FP activities outlined in their family planning costed implementation plan (CIPs). This tool was developed to both standardize the CIP costing approach across countries and streamline a sometimes complex process to make it easier for countries to revise inputs as commitments and implementation strategies are updated. The tool is Excel-based and includes pre-loaded equations, making it easier and quicker for new users to generate data.

The tool can be used at the national level—and at subnational levels where lower-level CIPs have been developed—to help policymakers, decisionmakers, partners, and donors better plan and advocate for an effective FP strategy.

The Family Planning CIP Costing Tool was developed as part of the CIP Resource Kit, and is meant to be used in conjunction with the The Family Planning CIP Gap Analysis Tool. The CIP Resource Kit can be accessed at http://www.familyplanning2020.org/cip. The CIP Costing Tool User Guide provides step-by-step instructions for applying the tool.

A newer version of this product has been integrated with the CIP Costing Tool available on the HP+ website.

The Family Planning CIP Gap Analysis Tool is an Excel-based tool that helps countries estimate the financial gap between the costs associated with implementing detailed costed implementation plan (CIP) activities and the annual funding commitment by government and donors for supporting the plan’s implementation. The gap analysis tool is designed to be used in conjunction with the Family Planning CIP Costing Tool (also part of the CIP Resource Kit), but allows the user to input cost data from any source (for instance, if the original CIP was costed using a different methodology). The tool can be used at the national level—or subnational levels—to help policymakers, decisionmakers, partners, and donors better plan and advocate for an effective FP strategy and is most effective as part of the initial CIP development or an annual CIP review process. The CIP Gap Analysis Tool User Guide provides step-by-step instructions for applying the tool.

The Family Planning CIP Gap Analysis Tool is designed for use in developing a comprehensive plan that meets the standard level of costing and gap analysis detail recommended for CIPs, which includes costs associated with specific activities within each CIP thematic area. For countries that wish to apply the CIP Gap Analysis Tool in support of an existing CIP or strategic plan that does not include activity-level costs, the Simplified CIP Gap Analysis Tool may be more appropriate.

Obtaining early buy-in from key decisionmakers is critical for securing the human and financial resources required to develop a family planning costed implementation plan (CIP). Many stakeholders may be unfamiliar with CIPs, how they support the achievement of family planning goals, and what the process requires. An initial effort to educate key stakeholders on these topics can help instill a sense of ownership and accountability that translates into sustained support and commitment for robust participation throughout the CIP process.

This presentation can be customized to obtain buy-in and approval to engage in the CIP process. This resource is part of the CIP Resource Kit, which can be accessed at http://www.familyplanning2020.org/cip.
