Overview
IntraHealth International hosts the Coordination Unit of The Ouagadougou Partnership in Senegal. The Ouagadougou Partnership is a collaboration among eight donors and the nine Francophone countries in West Africa to increase family planning use. Its Coordination Unit convenes donors, organizes exchange visits among countries, represents the partnership at a global level, and facilitates an annual meeting. During the grant period, the Coordination Unit will intensify efforts to coordinate donor investments at the country level, identify new champions to advocate for family planning, and continue to raise funds for family planning in Francophone West Africa.

Grants to this Grantee
for support to civil society advocacy coalitions in West Africa
IntraHealth International facilitates the Strengthening Civil Society Engagement for Family Planning in West Africa project from their offices in Mali. This grant will allow IntraHealth to implement a one-year transitional phase of the project, which will deepen family planning advocacy efforts by coalitions across all nine Francophone West African countries. This work complements the goals of the Ouagadougou Partnership and brings together civil society advocates, religious leaders, young people, and other members of civil society to more effectively promote the provision of family planning through improved policies and strategies. The Ouagadougou Partnership is in the midst of determining the future of the partnership from 2020 to 2030, which includes an assessment of the role civil society has played and could play in promoting family planning use in the region.
for support to civil society advocacy coalitions in West Africa
IntraHealth International, Inc. facilitates the Civil Society for Family Planning project (CS4FP) from their offices in Dakar, Senegal. This support would allow IntraHealth to implement the next phase of the CS4FP project, which will deepen family planning advocacy efforts in Senegal, Mali, and Benin and launch new advocacy coalitions in Burkina Faso and Niger. This work is highly complementary to the goals of the Ouagadougou Partnership and provides civil society advocates–religious leaders, young people, health care workers, traditional advocates–the training and platforms required to more effectively promote the provision of family planning.
