IPPF Africa Region Annual Report 2024

Advancing Rights, Expanding Access, Empowering Communities

In 2024, IPPF Africa Region reaffirmed its leadership in delivering quality sexual and reproductive health services and championing rights across the continent, despite facing political instability, funding challenges, and increasing opposition to sexual and reproductive rights.

The region delivered over 99.2 million sexual and reproductive health services, with 54 percent provided to young people. There was a 28 percent increase in safe abortion services, contributing to the prevention of 1.6 million unsafe abortions, the avoidance of 5.4 million unintended pregnancies, and saving over 312 million US dollars in healthcare costs.

Throughout the year, IPPF Africa influenced eight major policy wins, launched a regional youth steering committee, and expanded its partnerships with community-led organizations, including LGBTQI+ and feminist movements. The region also strengthened its presence in humanitarian settings and invested in digital outreach, data systems, and innovative funding models to promote sustainability and inclusive access to care.

This report highlights the bold steps taken to ensure that every individual across Africa can access the health services, rights, and dignity they deserve.

We extend a special thank you to our Member Associations and Collaborative Partners for their valuable contributions. This report would not have been possible without their unwavering support and commitment to our shared goals.
