Welcome to the first Quarterly Newsletter of the UNFPA The Gambia Country Office. This newsletter, is a tool to share stories of our work in The Gambia for women, youth and adolescents and to create an opportunity for learning and sharing best practices from communities benefitting from our interventions.

In this issue, we bring you stories from our Annual Staff Retreat in Toubacouta, Senegal, the Launch of the FP2020 Working Group in The Gambia, our commemoration of the International Day to End Obstetric Fistula and other exciting stories. Also, we are excited to introduce our summer interns who have been very instrumental in the production of this issue. We hope you enjoy reading this issue.
