It's been encouraging to see attention given to #FGS in @CommonsIDC inquiry on #SRHR and to see @FCDOGovUK recognition of FGS impact. We need to actively explore further opportunities for FGS integration to improve the quality and availability of SRH services for women and girls

Forever grateful for the opportunity to have worked with you and always inspired by your visionary leadership! time.com/6963684/jeremy-farr…
