International Planned Parenthood Federation Worldwide

The International Planned Parenthood Federation Worldwide, Inc. (IPPF WWI) is a global federation of member associations providing sexual and reproductive health services in more than 170 countries. It is one of the largest nongovernmental organizations in the world that promotes reproductive rights. This grant will support the organizational priorities of the federation during the grant period, including a strategic framework that addresses the sexual and reproductive health needs of adolescents (the largest ever generation), the growing social and economic inequalities around the world, and the burgeoning opposition movement that threatens gains in sexual and human rights. While IPPF WWI’s work improving service access and policies for reproductive health globally remains aligned with the overall global reproductive equity strategy aims, this will be the last general operating support grant as we shift our funding to focus more closely on the new strategy. (Strategy: Global Reproductive Equity)

The grant will support the International Planned Parenthood Federation Worldwide, Inc. (IPPF WWI) in providing capacity strengthening and funding to African member associations and civil society organizations (CSOs) that advocate for government accountability on sexual and reproductive health and rights. In partnership with Planned Parenthood Association Ghana, IPPF will work with member associations and CSOs to acquire the advocacy and organizational development skills needed to effectively engage in policy development and implementation processes at the national, regional, and global levels.
