ABOUT US
OUR history:
Founded in 2010, UFPC is the first one of its kind non-profit membership organisation in Uganda and Africa that brings together local and international actors in Family Planning (FP) and Reproductive Health (RH). UFPC provides a united voice from member organisations to advocate for effective response to FP/RH needs in Uganda.
The consortium first came together to overcome restrictions imposed by the Ugandan National Medical Stores (NMS) on access to contraceptive commodities by private-sector FP providers, threatening 60 percent of FP service delivery. Through collective voluntary action, the UFPC was able to work effectively with the Government of Uganda (GOU) to regain access to commodities and establish an alternate delivery system.
