Family Planning News Network (FPNN) Community Reporter Esenam Amuzu speaks with Elizabeth Talatu Williams, executive director, Sustainable Impact and Development (SID) Initiative, at the 8th Nigeria Family Planning Conference in Abuja.

They talk about how common it is for youth engagement in sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) work to be written off by others in the field. Young people are frequently consulted when it comes to aspects like generating buzz on social media, but that's often where the engagement stops.

Elizabeth urges all stakeholders in family planning to involve young people in truly impactful ways—as true partners.

Stay tuned for more community-driven, community-inspired reporting from the 8th Nigerian Family Planning Conference, taking place December 3–6, 2024.
