Association Marocaine Planification Familiale: effective youth participation

The lives of many young people have been changed through the Effective Participation of Youth project in Fez, Morocco, including in the Sahrij Ghaoua neighbourhood.

The Association Marocaine de Planification Familiale (AMPF) project focuses on building young people's skills to plan and implement sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) education projects, and raising young people's, other relevant organizations, youth movements and national decision makers awareness of the importance of SRHR.

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.
