Appraisal of information activities of the Family Planning Association of Uganda

Abstract

This research paper centres on the ways in which the Family Planning Association of Uganda disseminates its information about Family Planning throughout Uganda. It looks into the ways in which FPAU plans, implements and evaluates its information activities. "The source of each item of information is ultimately another person" and in this case its an organised body - FPAU. It acts as an information system though not fully installed. It facilitates the transfer of information from one person to another, which is essential for human development. The basis of the study, therefore, is to consolidate the concept of information work for efficient and effective information dissemination by highlighting the information activities of FPAU, identifying what can be added into the information network to ease dissemination, identifying the core causes of neglecting family planning in order to focus on them when conveying the message to the masses and highlighting on the communication skills used in other countries that have led to their success. The association plans for the future promise brighter results for the generation to come. This is highlighted in the findings of the research.
