Member Associations

The Mauritanian Association for the Promotion of the Family is a member association of the IPPF. It was created in 1988 and works mainly in the provision of SRH/FP services. AMPF works to ensure that all individuals, especially the underserved and vulnerable, have access to high quality SRH information and services. Services are delivered through 4 fixed centers (Dar Naim, Carrefour, Rosso, Nouadhibou):  2 maternity centers (1 in the Malian refugee camp in M'Berra and 1 in Dar Naim); 3 mobile teams and 4 youth information and education centers (1 in Rosso, 1 in Kaédi, 1 in Dar Naim and 1 in Nouadhibou)  

Action Canada for Sexual Health & Rights is a progressive, pro-choice charitable organization committed to advancing and upholding sexual and reproductive health and rights in Canada and globally. They are an organization that works in Canada and around the world to promote health, wellbeing, and rights related to sexuality and reproduction. Building on the 50-year legacy of the organizations that formed Action Canada, we provide direct support, referrals, and information to the people who need it most, partner with groups and organizations on a range of campaigns using a collaborative, movement-building approach, and work with decision-makers to advance progressive policies on access to abortion, stigma-free healthcare, gender equality, LGBTQ rights, and inclusive sex-ed. Following decades of activism, three of Canada’s leading sexual and reproductive health and rights organizations saw an opportunity for a strengthened voice in policy, health promotion, and access to information and a way to engage others across Canada and around the world in the sexual and reproductive health and rights movement. The 2014 amalgamation allowed each of the three organizations to build on one another’s histories, strengths and shared vision. Canadians for Choice (formerly CARAL) and the Canadian Federation for Sexual Health (formerly Planned Parenthood Federation of Canada) would benefit from the policy expertise of Action Canada for Population and Development (ACPD) and the organization’s international partnerships, while ACPD would profit from frontline knowledge and experience in Canada. A newly bridged gap between the national and global context was made and our shared history has set the stage for an organization that works in collaboration across all levels.
