Indonesian Planned Parenthood Association
The Indonesian Planned Parenthood Association (IPPA) initiated Indonesia’s family planning movement in 1957 by setting up facilities to provide advice and services. It did so in the face of strong opposition from the government and religious leaders, but in the intervening years it has prospered and grown, and now delivers an extensive range of sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services. IPPA operates a network of 96 service outlets including 45 permanent clinics, 25 mobile facilities, 50 associated centres/organizations and 56 community-based distributors/community-based services (CBDs/CBSs). The organization’s firm belief is that personal welfare and good health, and national prosperity are dependent to a large degree on access to SRH information and services. IPPA is particularly attuned to the needs of vulnerable and marginalized groups, and runs specific projects for street children, men who have sex with men, transgender men and female sex workers.

Association HERA XXI - Georgia
Association HERA XXI was registered as a non-governmental organization (NGO) in 1997 and joined IPPF as an Associate Member in 2000. The organization has associated clinics across the country, focusing on some of the poorest regions (including Samtskhe-Javakheti and Adjara) where the need for sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services is most acute. The Member Association has a strong youth focus, running peer educator programmes, involving young people at a high level in the organization’s structure. Young people are encouraged to devise, develop, implement and deliver their own projects. The need for change in gender attitudes amongst men is substantial and male peer educators receive additional training in this area. HERA XXI runs a counselling centre on sexually transmitted infections (STIs) including HIV and AIDS, and it has undertaken a range of highly focused HIV and AIDS projects for migrant workers, particularly during the construction of the Baku–Tbilisi–Ceyhan pipeline (running from the Caspian coast in Azerbaijan to the Mediterranean coast in Turkey). These projects involved intensive information, education and communication (IEC) activities with local medical professionals, local communities, sex workers and site workers. HERA XXI fights against unsafe abortion. The Member Association trains health professionals coming from different regions in Georgia on safe abortion. Its intensive advocacy has resulted in a partnership with the Ministry of Health against unsafe abortion. Contacts Website: www.hera-youth.ge/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AssociationHeraXXI
