IPPF Africa Region Annual Performance Report 2023 This comprehensive report reflects our efforts to remain a leading provider of quality sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services, and a vocal advocate for sexual and reproductive rights, with a strong focus on empowering women, girls, and young people on the African continent. Despite facing significant challenges, such as global funding cuts and political instability, IPPFAR’s Member associations and Collaborative Partners successfully delivered over 90 million SRH services in 2023. These include 2.3 million abortion services, preventing over 13,000 maternal deaths and averting 1.3 million unsafe abortions. Our advocacy initiatives were instrumental in influencing key policies, while our youth engagement efforts flourished, with 51% of services provided to individuals under 24. Moreover, IPPFAR proactively responded to humanitarian crises, extended services to marginalized populations, and embraced digital innovations to improve access to SRH services across the region. 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.

Last year saw a relentless assault on human rights, leaving many feeling anxious and pessimistic about the prospects for people from all walks of life to come together. It was a year of wartime atrocities livestreamed onto billions of smartphones in real time. And if climate, security and human rights fared poorly, the economy did not do much better and many countries cut their aid budgets.  Against this backdrop, we launched our new strategy, Come Together 2028. IPPF Member Associations (MAs) were still able to deliver a total of 222.4 million sexual and reproductive health services during 2023. We served 71.2 million clients. Pretty impressive in such a challenging year in which we embarked on our new strategy.  Read more by downloading the 2023 IPPF Annual Performance Report.
