Ugo talks about the complications that impact assessment present to some projects. Ugo notes that while there is a need to assess impact from interventions, specific indicators should not be the main focus.

Reproductive Health Rights).
An impressive, but very painful video about the realities on the
ground in Ghana. Produced for The Alliance for Reproductive

for everyone working in the health development sector.
It is 14 minutes this documentary, but it is worth spending
your time to see this.

NGOs and community based organisations which are
engaged in sexual and reproductive health interventions
in collaboration with national and district
stakeholders in 35 districts.
