4. Advocacy Wins to Impact
At subnational level- after engaging the district leaders- they embraced and appreciated the importance of FP, consequently allocating funds for FP activities
Mukono continued to allocate funds to FP, i.e., UGX6.5 million for FY2016/2017
Nebbi continued to allocate UGX10 million
Soroti has allocated UGX6 million
Zombo allocated about UGX5 million
Mbale allocated 4% of locally generated revenue
Mubende allocated UGX15 million
Kanungu allocated UGX30,000,000
Increased CPR in AFP Uganda priority districts: from 20% in 2011 to 49% in 2016 in Mbale, from 10% in 2006 to over 60% in 2016 for Gulu, and from 23% in 2012 to 46% in 2016 for Mukono
Show how your quick win is achieving impact – either through budgets allocated, stock-outs reduced, services improving, contraceptive use increasing, etc.
THESE REPEAT THE MAJOR ADVOCACY WINS SLIDE IN MANY WAYS. I WOULD MERGE THE TWO AND USE THIS SLIDE TO PRESENT SOME OF THE RECENT PMA2020 DATA.
 Or, consider displaying how a quick win has led to impact, for example by displaying a results cascade on this slide. You might also want to display PMA2020 data on a separate slide to reinforce your point on linking advocacy to impact
