POSTPONED: Strengthening Community Engagement for Sustainable Sexual and Reproductive Health Outcomes

Postponed: USAID/Uganda Family Planning Activity’s Success Stories and Insights 

Unfortunately, this webinar could not take place as scheduled. We hope to have a new date for this important event soon. 

USAID/Uganda Family Planning Activity is currently in its final year, and will be hosting a series of three webinars showcasing key impacts and game-changing interventions. The webinars will focus on three key interventions: community engagement, improving access to family planning services, and reproductive health supply chain. 

For five years, Pathfinder Uganda and partners have implemented USAID/Uganda Family Planning Activity (FPA) to support the Ugandan government in increasing the adoption of positive reproductive health behaviors among Ugandan women, men, and youth. With funding from USAID, the project aimed to contribute to positive long-term changes in modern contraceptive prevalence and fertility rates in Uganda by 2025. 

USAID/FPA has made remarkable progress in increasing access to and awareness of family planning services. The project not only achieved its objectives, but has also had a lasting impact on the communities it reached—enabling women, men, and young people to make informed decisions about their reproductive health.  

On Thursday, October 24, join Pathfinder, the Ugandan Ministry of Health, and implementing partners for a discussion on how community engagement improved access to reproductive health services in Uganda. During this webinar, the partners will discuss successes and prospects for scaling up the project’s results. 

This webinar will be hosted in English. French interpretation will be available.

Renforcer l’engagement communautaire pour des résultats durables en matière de santé sexuelle et reproductive: histoires à succès et leçons apprises du projet USAID/FPA

L’activité de planification familiale de l’USAID/Ouganda est actuellement dans sa dernière année et organise une série de trois webinaires pour présenter les impacts clés et les interventions qui ont changé la donne. Les webinaires se concentreront sur trois interventions clés : l’engagement communautaire, l’amélioration de l’accès aux services de planification familiale et la chaîne d’approvisionnement en matière de santé de la reproduction. 

Depuis cinq ans, Pathfinder Uganda et ses partenaires mettent en œuvre l’activité de planification familiale USAID/Uganda (FPA) pour aider le gouvernement ougandais à accroître l’adoption de comportements positifs en matière de santé génésique parmi les femmes, les hommes et les jeunes ougandais. Grâce au financement de l’USAID, le projet visait à contribuer à des changements positifs à long terme dans la prévalence des contraceptifs modernes et les taux de fécondité en Ouganda à l’horizon 2025.  

L’USAID/FPA a réalisé des progrès remarquables dans l’amélioration de l’accès aux services de planification familiale et de la sensibilisation à ces services. Le projet a non seulement atteint ses objectifs, mais il a également eu un impact durable sur les communautés qu’il a touchées, permettant aux femmes, aux hommes et aux jeunes de prendre des décisions éclairées concernant leur santé génésique.   

Le jeudi 24 octobre, rejoignez Pathfinder, le ministère ougandais de la santé et les partenaires de mise en œuvre pour une discussion sur la façon dont l’engagement communautaire a amélioré l’accès aux services de santé reproductive en Ouganda. Au cours de ce webinaire, les partenaires discuteront des réussites et des perspectives de mise à l’échelle des résultats du projet.  

Restez à l’écoute pour plus d’informations sur les deux prochains webinaires de la série qui entre dans le cadre de la clôture du projet USAID/FPA.   

Ce webinaire se déroulera en anglais et une traduction sera disponible.
