Thank you Rhoda for sharing this important invitation.

The CAFFP-PAC Project focus on adolescent SRH in refugee and host communities in Northern Uganda is very timely. I appreciate the citizen science and gender-transformative approach — especially the emphasis on understanding barriers from adolescents' own lived experiences, not just service statistics.
As we discussed in Lesson 4 on Diagnosing, disaggregating data by gender, age, refugee status and other intersecting identities is critical to make invisible gaps visible. Baseline findings on barriers to care will be powerful to see how Invisible Power and social norms shape adolescents' access, especially for girls seeking FP and PAC services.
The co-design and community participation aspect stands out for me — moving from diagnosing gaps to actionable recommendations with stakeholders who can implement change. This aligns perfectly with ensuring findings don't stay in reports but translate into adolescent-friendly service improvements.
I have registered for Oct 28th, 15:00-17:00 EAT and look forward to learning from the baseline findings and implementation experiences, and exploring opportunities for collaboration.
Thank you for organizing.

@Charles Bawate, thank you for registering, and I'm glad the citizen science and gender transformative framing resonated. You've picked out exactly the thread I hope the session pulls on: the gap between disaggregated baseline data and the lived experiences behind it. Service statistics can tell us who is and isn't accessing care, but not why, and certainly not how invisible power and social norms shape a girl's decision to seek FP or PAC services. That's where the qualitative, adolescent-led part of the work matters most. Your point about moving from diagnosis to actionable recommendations with the people who can implement change is the test of whether this session is useful or just interesting so I'd love your voice in the discussion on Oct 28th, particularly on what "adolescent friendly" actually looks like when you're designing with adolescents rather than for them. See you there.
