Candid Conversations is a podcast where we talk to family planning and reproductive health champions from around the globe and take a deep dive into current topics in family planning and reproductive health, as well as the personal journeys of our champions, the challenges they’ve faced, what excites them about the future and some advice for other up and coming leaders.
Our Goals:
- Highlight the new generation of family planning leaders and the trailblazing work they are doing
- Discuss the challenges youth face starting new programs and managing existing projects
- Give a youth perspective on the needs of youth and the changing reproductive health landscape
