Do you know that you may not need contraceptives right now, but it is essential for you to learn and know more about them?
Having knowledge about the available methods will help you make the best choices when the time comes.
Enjoy a safe sexual life. #SaferThanSorry
Limited access to modern forms of #contraception in Uganda, particularly in rural areas,contributes to high fertility rates and unintended pregnancies. Improving access to contraception is crucial for addressing these challenges and promoting reproductive health.#SRHR
We are saddened to learn about the death of Yusuf Odongpiny, a staff @STFUganda in Gulu.
Yusuf was among the consortium members UFPC and @UNFPAUganda trained on AFP SMART FP advocacy in the Acholi land.
He will be greatly missed.🕯️

In 2020, we had only 23,948 mothers who received family planning postpartum in the ANSWER program-supported facilities.
By 2022, the number had increased to 59,368.
Making contraception services easily accessible has been one of the ANSWER project's goals, and this has helped improve the lives of people in West Nile and the Acholi region.

For the past 4 years, the ANSWER program has focused on the areas below so as to improve SRHR in the West Nile and Acholi regions.
210 facilities and 16 districts have benefited from the project, with beneficiaries getting quality SRH services
