Member Associations

The Association Béninoise pour la Promotion de la Famille (ABPF) has been operating for almost 40 years. ABPF offers family planning, ante-natal and post-abortion care, infertility treatment, screening of cancers of the reproductive system, and management of sexually transmitted infections (including HIV and AIDS). Its service points include permanent and mobile clinics. ABPF is focused on reaching marginalized groups such as prisoners, sex workers, refugees and internally displaced persons. The majority of clients are estimated to be poor, marginalized, socially excluded and/or under-served. To reduce the national maternal mortality rate, ABPF operates an effective community-based obstetric and antenatal care service in 16 villages, using traditional birth attendants and volunteer health workers. ABPF also runs a locally-based service for young people which involves hundreds of community-based distributors (CBDs) and peer educators providing young people with sexual and reproductive health information, condoms and counselling services. In acknowledgment of ABPF’s expertise and accomplishments, the Government of Benin invited the organization to become a member of the technical committee (in the Ministry of Planning) that drafts reproductive health policies: the Population Policy, the Family Health Policy, HIV and AIDS policies and the National Sexual and Reproductive Health Policy. Whilst ABPF has recorded major advances in sexual and reproductive health, there are still very significant challenges as the figures for lifetime risk of maternal death, child mortality rate and unmet need for contraception of illustrate. Driving the work of ABPF is a large and dedicated team of hundreds of volunteers. There’s a Youth Action Movement which draws on the skills of young people. ABPF works in partnership with a range of government organisations, including parliament, the Ministère de la Famille, the Ministère de la Jeunesse, and the Ministère du Plan. Funders include USAID. Non-goverrnmental organizations working with ABPF include the Country Co-ordinating Mechanism for health and sexual and reproductive health.   

Established in 1953, The Family Planning Association of Sri Lanka (FPA Sri Lanka), pioneered the concept of family planning in the country and is a non-governmental organization (NGO) that explores innovative and challenging processes of family planning in Sri Lanka. We are proud to be one of the most expansive and well known NGO's in the country that focuses on family planning, Sexual and Reproductive Health and welfare. Today FPASL focuses on providing services to marginalized and under-served communities, growing its SRH product range to enhance consumer choice and advocacy to ensure SRHR of all people in the country. FPA Sri Lanka advocates to increase political commitment to sexual and reproductive health education (with political and religious leaders).  FPA works with community members specially youth to change norms and attitudes towards SRHR. It promotes the right to access SRH education through island-wide workshops.  It seeks to eradicate unsafe abortion and liberalise abortion laws, and it aims to foster community involvement in projects. FPA works with the LGBTIQ community to address stigma and discrimination faced by the community. FPASL has six Service Delivery Points. Clinics offer a comprehensive range of sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services. These include contraception, counselling, diagnostic services, HIV and STI screening and voluntary counselling and testing. FPA Sri Lanka works closely both with the Ministry of Health. The average number of clients per year is 85,862, and average number of SRH services provided is 430,404. The Member Association also addresses key SRH and relationship issues faced by young through the Happy Life Call Centre. This centre provides information on sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) to the general public through a range of new media tools. FPA Sri Lanka has developed a highly successful Social Marketing Programme (contraceptives). Today it’s the market leader in this product category and contributes around 40% of the total CYPs generated in Sri Lanka. By making a range of contraceptive products available to the consumers and supplementing it by the free FP services provided by the government, Sri Lanka has recorded a CPR of around 70%.
