Grants to this Grantee
for support of the U.S. program
Ipas strives to ensure that people in the United States who are pregnant or can become pregnant have access to the information, resources, and networks necessary for achieving their basic human right to the essential reproductive health care they need and want. Ipas’s work began in 1973 and today, it works in Africa, Asia, and the Americas and uses a sustainable abortion ecosystem approach to guide its work. (Strategy: U.S. Reproductive Equity)
for support of ODAS (Organisation pour le Dialogue pour l’Avortement Sécurisé)
This grant to Ipas will support Le Centre ODAS, an action network for safe abortion in Francophone West Africa. After three years of building the network and strategy of this movement-driving mechanism, ODAS will continue their work to strengthen the abortion ecosystem through convening, training, and networking efforts. This grant will be co-funded by the Packard Foundation and the Foundation for a Just Society International, as well as the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and is aligned with the Global Reproductive Equity strategy.
for design of the Catalysts Consortium for abortion in Africa
This grant will support the design of a new consortium of Africa-focused organizations working together on abortion rights. Ipas is receiving the grant on behalf of the consortium, which will spend the next year using these funds to landscape, strategize, and design a way to use collaborative action on abortion advocacy. This grant is aligned with the Global Reproductive Equity strategy. (Strategy: Global Reproductive Equity)
