Sex og Politikk - The Norwegian Association for Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights
Sex og Politikk is a member organization consisting of affiliated organizations, institutions and individual members. Sex og Politikk was founded in 1969 and has since its establishment been a main organisation in Norway working for sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR), particularly in the promotion of sexuality education where we provide the most used materials for use in primary and secondary schools in Norway "Uke 6", which since 2019 has been used at more than 40% of schools in Norway. We further prioritize work for abortion and SOGIE rights as well as securing access to safe contraceptives and sexual health and rights for the elderly. The organisation works both nationally and internationally to further sexual rights, including a particular focus on indigenous populations, with a particular programme on sexual health for Sami people, the only indigenous population in Europe. The organisation works for the development of better health care services, and to safeguard rights linked to sexuality and reproductive health, both in a national and international context. These areas are very important in strengthening women's rights and also for working towards gender equality and poverty reduction internationally. Political advocacy including through conferences and by organising an All Party Parliamentary Group on SRHR are important avenues to implement our work.

Planned Parenthood Association of Zambia
The Planned Parenthood Association of Zambia (PPAZ) was created in 1972. Then, it was dedicated to the promotion of family planning services. Over the years, it has evolved into a major service provider and advocacy body, with significant input into government policy on sexual and reproductive health (SRH) issues. Services offered include family planning, voluntary counselling and testing (VCT) for HIV, the treatment of sexually transmitted infections (STIs), antenatal and post-natal care, emergency contraceptive provision, laboratory tests, and screening. PPAZ refers clients on for additional services including prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT), antiretroviral treatment and home-based care. The organization operates 3 static clinics, 11 mobile units and 10 community-based services (CBSs). It has a full-time staff of 34, backed by 1,300 volunteers which include over 200 community-based distributors (CBDs) and 398 peer educators. In total, PPAZ runs 229 service points. PPAZ places a strong emphasis on HIV and AIDS prevention and treatment: as the statistics show, HIV prevalence rates are exceptionally high in Zambia. PPAZ has worked intensively on integrating gender and empowerment perspectives into HIV prevention. It has undertaken behaviour change communication projects directed at young people, both in and out of school settings, and it’s taken similar projects out to rural communities. PPAZ partners extensively with non-governmental organizations (NGOs), particularly those involved in youth and HIV and AIDS work. It receives financial support from Care international, UNICEF, the Japanese Organisation for Cooperation in Family Planning (JOICEP), Forum RFSU and IPPF’s Japan Trust Fund.
