Korea Population, Health and Welfare Association
The Korea Population, Health and Welfare Association (KoPHWA), is a leading non-profit organization in South Korea founded under the Maternal and Child Health Law, and has played a great role in the successful implementation of population and reproductive health programmes since 1961. Our Vision: To become a leading agency in family planning that promotes and ensures a healthy community. Our Mission: To become a supportive partner through improving sexual and reproductive healthcare for individuals and families. Our Goals: To improve quality of life by responding to population change; To realize healthy social networks in the community; To operate a professional and creative organization. In pursuit of these goals, KoPHWA runs a wide range of information, education, and communication (IEC) programmes to raise public awareness of population issues and is active in young people’s education and participation. We deliver Maternal and Child Health (MCH) and Family Health services, particularly to women and children through 13 branch clinics; we also provide mobile OB-GYN services to increase women's access to medical and health information and services, especially the marginalized groups. KoPHWA’s works of developing and distributing high-quality materials have consistently contributed to creating a family-friendly childbirth and childcare environment as well as promoting good sexual and reproductive health practice.

Rutgers
In January 2011, Rutgers Nisso Groep and the World Population Foundation merged to form Rutgers. Rutgers is dedicated to promoting sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) in the Netherlands and worldwide. The organization is a non-grant-receiving full Member Association of IPPF. The 3 fundamental principles underpinning Rutgers's work are the promotion of equal sexual treatment, the protection and improvement of SRHR, and the emancipation of specific vulnerable groups, or groups with particular sexual and reproductive health (SRH) needs. Rutgers contributes to the improvement of education, prevention, counselling and policy by gathering and disseminating knowledge. It does this by conducting scientific research and developing practical and appropriate services and materials for various target groups. It produces teaching packages, websites, books and brochures. Other work undertaken by the Member Association includes the organization of disciplinary education course for first-time youth sex offenders, training for healthcare professionals, research into (and the prevention of) gender-based violence (GBV), the development of preventive interventions, and monitoring changing sexual issues in the Netherlands.
