On July 1st, 2024, the entire @ePharma4fp team, along with senior management from @sfhnigeria and representatives from our esteemed consortium partners, convened at Sheraton Hotels, Lagos, for our annual mid-year retreat and review workshop. This pivotal event provided a much-needed opportunity to reflect on our progress, refine our strategies, and energize our collective efforts for the remainder of the year.

The retreat was a blend of strategic discussions, collaborative brainstorming sessions, and knowledge-sharing activities aimed at evaluating the successes, challenges, and learnings from the first half of 2024. Team members across various departments shared insights into project activities, while senior management led discussions on how best to optimize resources and scale impact as we advance toward our overarching goal: revolutionizing access to family planning products and services through our innovative ePharmacy hybrid models.

Key highlights of the workshop included:

  • A comprehensive review of performance metrics, focusing on demand generation, outreach activities, and adoption of family planning products via the ePharma4fp platform.
  • Strategy sessions on overcoming challenges, particularly in improving access for underserved and remote populations.
  • Collaborative planning to align on key objectives for the second half of 2024, including expanding our hybrid model’s reach and enhancing digital access to reproductive health products and services.
  • Inspirational keynote addresses from @sfhnigeria senior leadership and consortium partners, reaffirming our shared commitment to transforming family planning in Nigeria.

Beyond the formal sessions, the retreat served as a time for team bonding and renewed motivation. The collaborative energy in the room was palpable, and it reinforced our belief in the power of partnerships and innovation to drive sustainable change.

As we move forward into the second half of 2024, we are more determined than ever to bridge gaps in access to family planning solutions. With a clear roadmap in place and a united team effort, we are confident in our ability to empower women and families with choices that enhance their well-being and future.
