Men are the very important stakeholders and beneficiaries of reproductive health services although cultures and traditions limit their involvement. ELCT through the Vunja Ukimya project is developing an IEC material that will be used by the health providers in ELCT hospitals and Church leaders to promote Male involvement in reproductive health services. Many thanks to the involved participants and #ACTChurchofSweden
