In collaboration with United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), The Population Secretariat and Central Broadcasting Station (CBS), AHADI runs  radio soap opera "Banadda Twegande"loosely translated to "Together We Will" and broadcast in Central Uganda region. The soap opera seeks to increase knowledge and understanding on sexual and reproductive health issues including reproductive rights. The soap targets farmers, plantation and factory workers and bodabodas (community service motor cyclists). It is envisioned that the pilot program will start the process of policy advocacy in Buganda through an effective IEC, strategy to reduce STI/HIV, transmission and to promote condom programming. It is anticipated that the proportion of women who have the final say in decisions about their own health care will start increasing among the target population.

The soap is supported by a panel discussion of critical sexual reproductive issues raised in the drama.

The soap is broadcast through Central Broadcasting Station (CBS FM) in Central Region: Masaka, Luwero, Wakiso and Mukono. In addition, AHADI is running a weekly comic strip in Bukedde, the Luganda newspaper. The graphic representation enhances the messages in the radio program.

AHADI provides technical support to Twende na Wakati and Mambo Bomba in Tanzania.
