The USAID/Family Planning Activity (FPA) is a five-year project under Pathfinder International running from 2020-2025. The USAID/FPA will play a catalytic role in increasing access to modern contraception and reducing the unmet need for voluntary family planning services in Uganda.
The project will apply evidence-based approaches that address gender disparities and biases preventing adolescents and youth from accessing contraception. Samasha is the lead partner for commodity security components of the project.
In close collaboration with Uganda’s Ministry of Health, the USAID/Uganda Family Planning Activity (FPA) will support the Government of Uganda to accelerate progress toward its commitments and objectives under FP2020 and the country’s Vision 2040 strategy. FPA approaches include:
FPA interventions will be conducted across 11 districts of Uganda where communities have a significant unmet need for voluntary family planning services and will support regionally based implementing partners to offer quality services at scale. FPA will scale up high-impact practices and test new innovations that address the unique reproductive health needs of individual Ugandans.
The Consortium Partnership includes Pathfinder International, Samasha Medical Foundation, Uganda Protestant Medical Bureau (UPMB) and Ugandan Young and Adolescent Health Forum (UYAHF).
