The 1994 International Conference on Population and Development transformed the family planning (FP) field. Yet, three decades later, global FP monitoring remains anchored in the same core indicators: contraceptive use, unmet need, and demand satisfied. Despite decades of well‐established critique, these measures have seen little substantive revision. As the global community looks to 2030 and beyond, a coordinated effort is urgently needed to develop a revised set of easily interpretable, top‐line FP indicators. Leveraging recent momentum around advances in FP and contraceptive measurement, this effort must be intentional and focused—ensuring that new indicators better reflect the values and priorities of the field—and should be guided by principles of simplicity, validity, directionality, and universal applicability. Without action, the FP community risks continued reliance on outdated measures or the adoption of impractical, unvalidated indicators, weakening future accountability for rights‐based FP. We call on key stakeholders—FP advocates, donors, and global organizations—to prioritize and invest in the development and validation of robust new top‐line FP indicators over the next three years, to ensure their integration into post‐2030 global agenda setting.

言出必行：国际人口与发展会议 30 年后修订计划生育首要指标的未完成而紧迫的任务


1994 年国际人口与发展会议改变了计划生育 （FP） 领域。然而，三十年后，全球 FP 监测仍然以相同的核心指标为基础：避孕药具的使用、未满足的需求和需求得到满足。尽管几十年来一直受到公认的批评，但这些措施几乎没有得到实质性的修改。随着国际社会展望 2030 年及以后，迫切需要协调一致的努力来制定一套修订后的易于解释的 FP 指标。利用 FP 和避孕测量的最新势头，这项工作必须是有意识的和重点突出的——确保新指标更好地反映该领域的价值和优先事项——并且应以简单、有效、方向性和普遍适用性的原则为指导。如果不采取行动，FP 社区就有可能继续依赖过时的措施或采用不切实际、未经验证的指标，从而削弱未来对基于权利的 FP 的问责制。我们呼吁主要利益相关者（FP 倡导者、捐助者和全球组织）在未来三年内优先考虑并投资于开发和验证稳健的新 FP 指标，以确保将其纳入 2030 年后全球议程设定。
