On July 8, Advance Family Planning (AFP) is co-hosting a learning session entitled, “Tools and Lessons to Secure, Regain, and Sustain Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) Momentum.” The event is part of the 2021 United Nations High-level Political Forum on Sustainable Development and explores opportunities to rethink systemic injustices in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Advance Family Planning partners Tulane International and the Bill & Melinda Gates Institute for Population and Reproductive Health facilitated a three-day media advocacy workshop for advocates and journalists in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). Twenty-six participants—representing government partners, national and subnational advocacy working groups, local media houses, and civil society organizations—convened to strengthen communication and advocacy skills and draft new media advocacy action plans to complement AFP's policy advocacy efforts.
