Roadmap
HP+ hosted an end-of-project event to review the project’s policy, financing, governance, and advocacy results and explore lessons learned with our USAID colleagues and other implementing partners. We view this gathering as a critical component of knowledge sharing and sustainability and an opportunity to contribute to current and future directions in locally led development, equity, and access to family planning and health services globally.
