UNFPA Applauds RHU for Promoting Family Planning in Uganda

Reproductive Health Uganda (RHU) partners have resolved to prioritize family planning (FP) access areas that government can implement easily.

This was disclosed at a sustainability, readiness assessment dialogue by partners like the Ministry of Health, United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), and some Civil Society Organizations (CSO’s) at Ridar hotel in Mukono.

Roselline Achola, UNFPA Program Analyst for FP/RHCS says the sustainability, readiness assessment dialogue aimed to bridge the gap between public and private family planning stakeholders in Uganda.

She says the private and public sector in Uganda, given good data collection, analysis and reporting can find solutions to the challenges facing access and delivery of family planning services in Uganda.

“as partners are trying to scale down funding to Uganda, evaluation of family planning and reproductive health services is a great step to take to have family planning services by ourselves,” Achola said.

Dr. Peter Ibembe, Reproductive Health Uganda Director of Programs advised meeting stakeholders from the Ministry of Health, United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), and Civil Society Organizations to prioritize family planning areas that can be easily implemented and funded by partners.

“Let us prioritize key areas which can be easily implemented for better results,” Dr. Ibembe.

The sustainability, readiness assessment dialogue was attended by the Ministry of Health and other CSO’s.
