Exploration of Nakivale Refugees’ and Stakeholders’ Perceptions and Priorities of Male Engagement in Pregnancy, Childbirth, Postpartum, and Family Planning: A Qualitative Study

These initiatives should enhance men's financial literacy, mental health, knowledge, and relationship quality to foster equitable discussions, decisions, and behaviors between refugee couples.
