The Togolese Association for Family Welfare (ATBEF) organized this Tuesday, March 07, 2023 a workshop to validate the implementation report of the Motion Tracker project. This is part of the monitoring of the commitments made by Togo for 2030 in terms of family planning.
The objective of this meeting, according to the executive director of the ATBEF, Noélie Koevi-Koudam, is to assess the data that has been collected and to validate them together with the partners who participate in achieving these results. ” The validation will allow us to see the level where we are in relation to the commitments made by Togo. After the validation, it will be a question of rectifying the situation if necessary or of continuing the actions which are planned within the framework of these commitments in terms of family planning. “, she added.
It should be noted that the Motion Tracker project was initiated to monitor the 2020 commitments made at the Ouagadougou Conference by the 9 countries including Togo. As they expire, new FP2030 commitments have been made to span a new decade, with the goal of achieving goals to improve the sexual and reproductive health of women, youth, and adolescents.
The monitoring of new commitments was done through data collection based on indicators resulting from the deconstruction of these commitments. These data, are activities, compiled in a report in order to note the progress of Togo in the realization of the commitments FP230.
Among other partners present at the meeting, we can mention AmplifyPF, the Directorate of Mother and Child, the Ouagadougou Partnership and civil society organizations involved in reproductive health.
