The Uganda Youth Alliance for Family Planning and Adolescent Health’s (UYAFPAH) primary mission is advocating for positive change in health matters that affect young people in Uganda.
We educate young people on issues to do with behavioral change, menstrual hygiene, sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR), family planning, HIV and other STIs, and hepatitis B. We hold capacity-building trainings on livelihood skills, economic empowerment, and self-awareness.
UYAFPAH promotes high-quality, high-impact, and gender-sensitive SRHR information for the most vulnerable and most at- risk populations of young people (10-35 years) in Uganda through capacity strengthening, issue-specific advocacy, and strategic partnerships for community and school dialogues. We aim to improve access to and the acceptability of family planning and reproductive health services for adolescents and youth by using a human-rights based approach.
