Reproductive Health Uganda (RHU) and Partners in Population and Development (PPDAro) are looking for a consultant to conduct a summative evaluation for the Advance Family Planning project (AFP)
Overview of the Advance Family Planning Initiative in Uganda
Advance Family Planning (AFP) is an advocacy initiative of the Bill and Melinda Gates Institute for Population and Reproductive Health and the Johns Hopkins School of Public Health implemented in ten countries. The initiative was launched in Uganda in November 2009 with the aim of improving the funding and policy environment and galvanizing political commitment needed to ensure access to a full choice of family planning services and information. This is attained through collective efforts working with likeminded partners to build consensus, mostly targeting decision makers using a unique AFP SMART Advocacy approach.
The advocacy approach hinges on seven principles: locally-driven, focused, evidence-based, collaborative, influence, accountability and sustainability.
AFP works in collaboration with governments, donors, implementing partners, religious, media, and cultural institutions, as well as other state and non-state actors, to ensure that the country’s FP2030 commitments are met, as well as to track progress and understand advocacy priorities.
In Uganda, the AFP initiative is implemented by Reproductive Health Uganda (RHU) and Partners in Population and Development, Africa Region Office (PPDARO), working at both national and at Sub National level- over the years, engaging subnational decision
makers of 32 districts
