Overview
The International Planned Parenthood Federation’s Western Hemisphere Regional Office (IPPF/WHR) is the regional partner for the Federation in the Americas, with forty-one Member Associations in countries throughout the region. This grant would allow IPPF/WHR Member Associations to provide millions of sexual and reproductive health services each year—ranging from contraceptive services to HIV testing and post-abortion care—and to advocate for sexual and reproductive rights at national level. Because of its headquarters location in New York, IPPF/WHR is an active voice in United Nations processes and strategically important in promoting the sexual and reproductive health and rights agenda in the post-2015 development dialogue.
