In Zimbabwe, the FP2020 CSOs forum is a platform where CSOs join their efforts in supporting the government endeavour towards meeting the FP2020 goals. The forum serves as an avenue for the exchange of ideas around key issues in family planning and provides an opportunity for CSOs to reflect on their work, strategize and design in accelerating the momentum towards universal access to family planning information, services and supplies in Zimbabwe. Through this collective engagement, a good deal of lessons has been learnt and partnerships between governments and civil society organizations have been strengthened. Hence, the 5th round FP2020 CSOs symposium was a platform to review the progress, harvesting lessons learnt but most importantly bringing forth a strong coordination between CSOs and youth organisations. And reflecting on thematic areas that had been discussed during the Anglophone countries focal point workshop held in Addis Ababa in May 2019.
