Member Associations

The Association Algerienne pour la Planification Familiale (AAPF) was founded in 1987 and became an IPPF Member Association 2 years later. The organization works for the well-being and development of individuals and families through the promotion of sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) and family planning. The organization partners with a large number of ministries, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), UN agencies, donors, academic/educational institutions, parliamentarians, human rights advocates, and media. By harnessing such partnerships, for example,  AAPF played a central part in the country’s 'Stop the Violence Against Women Now' campaign. AAPF forged a civil society coalition with the support of the IPPF Innovation Fund. This coalition advocated to decision makers to adopt a law that would protect women against violence and to sensitize the public on the issue. This campaign is now being used as a model for other Member Associations, and it will form the basis for an advocacy toolkit for other groups faced with similar challenges.

As Estonia’s leading advocate of family planning and sexual and reproductive health (SRH), the Estonian Sexual Health Association has chosen to focus particularly on sex education for young people. The Estonian Sexual Health Association has played a central role in designing the school curriculum on the subject. It is working in conjunction with IPPF Member Associations in Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden to adapt, adopt and translate printed and video material, and to produce full education packs. The Estonian Sexual Health Association runs training workshops for teachers and peer educators around the country. Contacts Website: www.amor.ee Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/seksuaalterviseliit
