🎙️ Attended Prof. Akanni Akinyemi Akinyemi's insightful presentation on "The Power of Partnership" at the #C4SPAA Cohort 2 Fellowship just recently.

His words struck a deep chord with me, highlighting the need of teamwork and collaboration in bringing about lasting change. His words serve as a reminder that by banding together, we can make more progress in SRHR advocacy as we navigate the field of public health. Let's keep supporting alliances that result in significant changes! 🌟🤝 #SRHRAwareness #PartnershipPower #PublicHealthAdvocacy #CollaborationForChange
