By Martha Songa Issues of high population growth and family planning have for long been on the agendas of organisations involved in advocacy for sexual and reproductive health and rights for long, with a key focus being government-facing advocacy intended to get the government to increase funding for reproductive health. To this end, Reproductive Health Uganda (RHU), with support from DFID, worked with renowned economic analyst and Makerere University don Professor Augustus Nuwagaba to develop a position paper on family planning. The paper drew attention to the need for the government to invest in family planning as a means of transforming the economy from a low to high income one. While presenting the paper to stakeholders on May 13 in Kampala, Dr Nuwagaba pointed to the fact that a relatively low investment in family planning would result in higher cost savings for the country.
