Honored to have our Ampitapitao initiative spotlighted in USAID's article about #ThePitch! With support from USAID and Knowledge SUCCESS, we developed a magazine series tackling issues related to youth reproductive health. The magazines were a way to solicit community perspectives on these issues — perspectives we then shared with national policy- and decision-makers. Through Ampitapitao magazines distributed in 51 communities across three regions, we received 8,000 comments (in just a few months)! https://lnkd.in/gqDYVFd3
