Bridging Participation Gaps: A Community-Led Inception for Integrating Comprehensive Adolescent-Friendly Family Planning and Post-Abortion Care (CAFFP–PAC) into Primary Healthcare Facilities in Northern Uganda
A community-led inception process centered on adolescents and local voices is feasible and essential for successful CAFFP-PAC integration in Northern Uganda. Findings highlight the need to shift from provider-centered models to inclusive, participatory approaches that leverage community assets, foster adolescent agency, and ensure sustained engagement. Such approaches are vital for enhancing service accessibility, responsiveness, and sustainability in resource-constrained settings.
