Grants to this Grantee
for support of IPPF ARO’s abortion work in Francophone West Africa  
This grant to the International Planned Parenthood Federation’s Africa Regional Office will support a project to increase access to equitable and sustainable abortion care in three Francophone West African countries: Niger, Togo, and Cameroon. IPPF Member Associations, which represent leading national sexual and reproductive health service delivery organizations in each country, will receive a sub-grant as well as technical support to develop their own gender- transformative abortion projects, encompassing improvements in clinical services, advances in their social and policy change capacities, and institutional strengthening. Technical support will come from IPPF’s global abortion strategy and tools, from the staff at the global and regional secretariats and also from the Burkina Faso Member Association, which have more advanced technical capacity in abortion work among their peers in the region.

for advancing sexual and reproductive health and rights  
The International Planned Parenthood Federation’s Africa Regional Office (IPPF ARO) is based in Nairobi, Kenya, and provides funding and technical support to Federation member associations in forty-two countries. This support would allow IPPF ARO to ensure that sexual and reproductive health and rights remain a priority in Africa’s development agenda beyond 2015, after the Millennium Development Goals and Maputo Plan of Action come to an end. The IPPF ARO team plans to engage African Union Commission leadership and government and civil society decision makers in several different countries in policy dialogue, with a related objective of building the advocacy capacity of the African member associations that IPPF ARO supports.
