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. #ANSWERCLOSEOUT2023

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 #ANSWERCLOSEOUT2023
