IPPF Africa Region (IPPFAR) is seeking an organization to become its new Collaborative Partner in Zimbabwe, who will help fulfil IPPF’s vision: “All people are free to make choices about their sexuality and well-being, in a world free of discrimination”.
IPPF is a global healthcare provider and a leading advocate of sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) for all. Led by a courageous and determined group of women, IPPF was founded in 1952 at the Third International Planned Parenthood Conference. Today, we are a movement of 120 autonomous members with a presence in over 146 countries.
IPPF Africa Region (IPPFAR) is part of IPPF’s secretariat, and as such, one of the leading providers of quality sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services in Africa, and a strong and resolute sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) advocacy voice in the region, committed to gender equality and to ensuring that women, girls and young people realize their rights and have control over their own bodies, their lives and their futures.
Supported by thousands of volunteers, IPPFAR tackles the continent’s growing SRHR challenges through a committed network of Member Associations (MAs) and Collaborative Partners (CPs) in 39 countries. IPPF MAs share a common vision, set of core values, and commitment to improve lives and enhance human rights. Each MA develops its own strategy to address the needs in its country.
IPPF provides technical, financial and related support to its MAs and CPs. MAs and CPs also support eachother through a peer-to-peer mechanism. While CPs are required to subscribe to the IPPF’s vision, mission and values, they are not required to comply with all IPPF membership standards and do not undergo accreditation reviews. Becoming a CP is often a first step towards becoming an MA at a later stage.
IPPFAR is seeking a national Civil Society Organization (CSOs) working in the area of Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) to become its new Collaborative Partner in Zimbabwe, who will help fulfil IPPF’s vision: “All people are free to make choices about their sexuality and well-being, in a world free of discrimination”.
