“Without my involvement in the project, it would have been very difficult for me to cope. It is good to know I am not alone. I lead a much happier life now.”
Beneficiary

Men who have sex with men (MSM) in China are benefitting from the unique work of China Family Planning Association (CFPA).

CPFA is promoting sexual health among MSM in three cities of Gansu Province, including Lanzhou.

The project has focused on creating a more supportive environment for MSM and improving their sexual health practices and
behaviour.

CFPA has also worked with other MSM organizations and local health departments to increase their capacity to provide MSM-friendly sexual health services.

This case study is one of a series of qualitative reviews called 'IPPF Changing lives' which capture the stories of IPPF’s beneficiaries and clients from around the world.

A rapid PEER (participatory ethnographic evaluation and research) approach was used to train project beneficiaries to interview people in their
social network.

These voices provide us with powerful testimonies on lives changed - in some cases, lives saved - and illustrate how IPPF is making a difference.
