Association Burundaise pour le Bien-Etre Familial
Established in 1991, the Association Burundaise pour le Bien-Etre Familial's (ABUBEF) original mission was to deliver family planning. Over 20 years later, the organization operates a large number of services across a broad range of sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) needs, including prevention and management of HIV and AIDS, youth-friendly counselling and education, pre-marital counselling, and antenatal and post-natal care. It accomplished this through 18 service points, including static and mobile clinics, and community-based services. An estimated 80% of its clients are poor, marginalized, socially excluded and/or under-served. Particular beneficiaries of ABUBEF’s services include young people living with HIV and AIDS, internally displaced persons, women of child-bearing age, sex workers, drug users and street children. ABUBEF delivers its service through a dedicated team which includes 81 staff, nearly 500 volunteers, 75 peer educators and well over 1,000 community-based distributors (CBDs). Their commitment to ABUBEF is crucial to the nation’s current and future sexual and reproductive health. ABUBEF’s partners include donors such as UNFPA, FHI, CARE and CNLS, and it works together with organizations including Réseau National des Jeunes Engagés pour la Lutte Contre le Sida (RENAJES) and the Association pour la Promotion de la Fille Burundaise (APFB).

Promotion of Family Health Association of Lao PDR
The promotion of family health association of Lao PDR (PFHA) is a non-profit association established in 2012. Its roots can be traced to the safe motherhood project jointly implemented by IPPF and UNFPA in the northern province of Oudomxay. Our vision: to create a healthy and happy society, contributing towards bringing Lao PDR out of least developed nation status. Our mission: to be the leading family health association striving to provide all people with innovative and up-to-date reproductive health information and quality services by empowering individuals through raising awareness of reproductive health knowledge, information and services and improving quality of reproductive healthcare and services for its beneficiaries in collaboration with government authorities, relevant stakeholders, and other civil society organizations. PFHA aims at contributing to Lao PDR sustainable development targets, particularly focusing on advancing the sexual reproductive health and rights of vulnerable and marginalized groups in remote areas. We also support public health facilities, such as district hospitals and health centers. In 2020, PFHA supported 59 associated public health centres and managed one (1) ma static clinic, serving an average of 94,852 clients with 287,910 services.
