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

Located off the eastern coast of Africa in the Indian Ocean, Comoros is an archipelago of 4 islands at the northern end of the Mozambique Channel between northeaster Mozambique and northwestern Madagascar. At a little over 1,800 square kilometres, it’s the third smallest nation in Africa, but has over 700,000 inhabitants. It is one of the most densely populated countries on the continent. A third of the population are women of reproductive age and the absence of essential health services presents major risks to their health and survival. High fertility levels allied to low contraceptive uptake, and widespread poverty combine to drive high risks related to sexual and reproductive health (SRH). In response, the Association Comorienne pour le Bien-Être Famille (ASCOBEF) is delivering a comprehensive range of sexual and reproductive health programmes and services. These include family planning, gynaecological counselling and services, antenatal care, information, education and communication (IEC) programmes and behaviour change communications (BCC) activities to promote health-seeking behaviour. It is also playing a major advocacy role in the fight against gender-based violence, and has provided extensive victim support. The majority of ASCOBEF's clients are poor, marginalized, socially excluded and/or under-served. ASCOBEF deliver services and programmes supported by volunteers, Youth Action Movement members and peer educators. ASCOBEF works in partnership with non-governmental organizations (NGOs) including Réseau Femmes et Développement. It receives financial support from UNFPA, the Global Fund, UNICEF and the World Health Organization.
