Association Nigérienne pour le Bien-Etre Familial
Since 1996, the Association Nigérienne pour le Bien-Etre Familial's (ANBEF) have been providing a comprehensive range of sexual and reproductive healthcare including the prevention and management of HIV and AIDS, antenatal and post-natal care, the provision of post-abortion care in clinics and health huts in rural areas, treatment of male and female infertility, and pre-marital counselling. Importantly, the Member Association also trains young people in income-generating activities. ANBEF reaches out to rural and hard-to-reach communities, including street children, sex workers, vulnerable young people and rural populations. Services are delivered by a team of permanent staff, hundreds of volunteers, peer educators and community-based distributors (CBDs). Given that a very high proportion of 15-19 year olds give birth, and risks of maternal death and rates of child mortality are among the highest in the world, ANBEF fulfils a critical need in Niger that is not met by the private sector or government providers. ANBEF’s expertise has been called upon by the Niger government’s Technical Committee for the development of the national IPCD+10 (International Conference on Population and Development) strategy. The Member Association works with non-governmental organizations including CARE International and FCI Partnerships, and it receives funding from UNFPA and Multisector Programmes (IDA/World Bank). ANBEF works closely with other specialist population, planning, youth, HIV and AIDS and sexually transmitted infection (STI) groups in Niger.

My Age Zimbabwe
Formed in 2011 as a theatre for development/ edutainment group and later registered in 2015, My Age Zimbabwe Trust is a youth-led organization that champions youth leadership, participation, gender equality, and the health and rights of adolescents and young people. It harnesses evidence and unites diverse voices to spark a commitment to youth-related issues. Anchored in sexual and reproductive health, we advocate for the rights of young people across every aspect of their lives. The organization is committed to the promotion of young people’s access to Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR). We subscribe to the notion that SRHR education, information, and services should be accessible to everyone in the human rights framework including adolescents and young sex workers, LGBTIQ+, and young people with disabilities. Vision: Youth in Zimbabwe enjoy their full Sexual and Reproductive Health. Mission: A youth-led organization that champions Gender Equality, Sexual Reproductive Health Rights and the Well-being of young people in their diversities.
