London Training for China Family Planning Association staff (CFPA)
Background
China has been experiencing drastic changes in its economy, society and people, as is its environment surrounding sexual and reproductive health and rights of its people. China Family Planning Association (CFPA), which is IPPF’s Member Association in China, is facing the need to adjust itself to these changes and transform itself to serve the needs of the Chinese people better. In this context, CFPA applied for the Chinese Government’s support in CFPA’s capacity building in the UK and requested IPPF to organise it. Based on its experiences and long history of collaboration, CFPA came up with the idea to work with IPPF in its capacity building. CFPA considers IPPF as the most suitable training provider/partner/coordinator for CFPA staff to learn about SRH education, services and policy making. Following successful training organised by IPPF in 2018 and 2019, this training will provide IPPF with a vital opportunity to strengthen IPPF’s collaboration with China further and support CFPA’s pathway for its sound transformation. At the same time, this will give us a chance to try our new role as a trainer for MAs by preparing an introductory module, etc and explore a new business opportunity for engaging our MAs and raising funds for our activities.
