Family Planning and Africa’s Development: Two sides of the same coin?

In this special episode of the Break It Down Podcast, we feature a conversation we had on the sidelines of the 8th Nigeria Family Planning Conference. The conversation featured Dr. Samukeliso Dube, the Executive Director of FP2030. She unpacked why family planning is not just a health conversation but a fundamental pillar of sustainable development in Africa. She discussed how African countries are making family planning a development and political conversation, the lessons learned, and the importance of collaboration across borders.This is an important topic, given that the continent continues to face rapid, unsustainable population growth amid evolving socio-economic challenges. Family planning is critical in shaping Africa's future. Join them as they explore how access to family planning services empowers women, drives economic growth, improves health outcomes, and enhances gender equality.We are always happy to receive your feedback via [email protected] and because we are doing this as a community, you can also send us your comments as voice notes and we will include them in our episodes.  Send your voice notes via email or our WhatsApp number - +234 708 501 4676 Follow us across Social Media and engage with us using the hashtag - #BreakItDownPodcast.Twitter | LinkedIn | Facebook | Instagram | Website
