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)  

The Reproductive and Family Health Association of Fiji (RFHAF) was inaugurated in June 1996. It has played a key role in shaping national family planning policy and in promoting sexual and reproductive health (SRH) education, particularly among young people and communities in which myths about the dangers of family planning prevail. The use of contraceptives is still believed by many to cause cancer and immature childbirth. RFHAF has also undertaken concerted national advocacy work (with a particular emphasis on HIV and AIDS) through its involvement with the National Advisory Committee on AIDS and the country co-ordinating mechanism. As such, it played a critical role in securing the HIV Prevention and Treatment Decree which outlaws discrimination, promotes counselling, testing and reporting, assures confidentiality, and legislates on the supply of blood products. The organization’s committed promotion of wider awareness of SRH issues is changing attitudes, and as attitudes change, uptake of services increase.
