The FP 2030 supported by Advance Family Planning (AFP) and organized by  Reproductive Health Uganda (RHU) registered success, however, in line with the vision of the International Conference on Population and Development to achieve universal access to sexual and reproductive health services (SRHR), including contraception, remains unfulfilled.

Transforming the world, we live in, the FP 2030 regional partners meeting acknowledges the continuing need for sexual reproductive health and contraception by including two goals with targets aimed at universal access to contraceptive services. Realizing these goals requires greater focus and investment, to understand and address the barriers that millions of women and girls currently at risk of an unwanted pregnancy face in accessing and using voluntary family planning (FP).

While giving the welcome remarks, Jackson Chekweko, RHU Executive Director (ED) alluded to a story of the 21-year-old, who has impregnated 9 girls in his village in Kasese district during the two years of the pandemic and lockdown. He says there should be equity measurements of family planning, status, and contraceptive use.
