Member Associations

Established in 1994, the Mongolian Family Welfare Association (MFWA) became a full IPPF Member Association in 2005. The organization delivers services through 72 distinct outlets, including 11 permanent clinics, 6 mobile facilities and a network of 43 community-based distributors/community-based services (CBDs/CBSs). MFWA works closely with both governmental and non-governmental agencies to secure good quality sexual and reproductive health (SRH) provision for the Mongolian people. The organization runs clinics and education and counselling facilities, in pursuit of its ultimate objective: universal access to sexual health services, and universal recognition that exercising informed control over SRH is a fundamental human right.   Contacts Webiste: www.mfwa.mn Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MFWA-418675871482447/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/mfwamongolia

HERA (the Health Education and Research Association) was founded in 2000 as a volunteer’s movement of university students. It was in response to the country’s need for improved HIV education and treatment and for better care for people living with HIV. Since its beginnings HERA recognized the need to integrate HIV activities and services into broader sexual and reproductive health (SRH) provision. Today HERA is a leading national NGO working in the field of HIV and sexual and reproductive health and rights. HERA focuses on national and international advocacy for comprehensive and right-based policies and programmes on HIV and sexual and reproductive health. It particularly advocates for sexuality education and for a women’s right to choose and access to safe abortion services.
