Who We Are
IPPF is a locally owned, globally connected civil society movement.
We work to ensure people are free to make choices about their sexuality and wellbeing, in a world without discrimination.
Our Mission
Building on a proud history of over 65 years of achievement, we commit to lead a locally owned, globally connected civil society movement that provides and enables services and champions sexual and reproductive health and rights for all, especially the under-served.
Our Impact
In 2023, IPPF Africa Region (IPPFAR) remained a leading provider of quality sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services and advocacy, focusing on empowering women, girls, and young people.
Despite challenges such as global funding cuts and political instability, IPPFAR delivered over 90 million SRH services, including 2.3 million abortion services, preventing over 13,000 maternal deaths and averting 1.3 million unsafe abortions.
