Member Associations

Established in June 2009 as a not-for-profit voluntary non-governmental organization, the Yemeni Association for Reproductive Health (YARH) is registered with the Ministry of Social Affairs. YARH became an IPPF Member Association in 2010.  Through 2 clinics and 1 youth-friendly service centre, the Member Association provides quality services to the people of Yemen. It has 72 volunteers and staff working on HIV and AIDS issues, and on the promotion of awareness amongst young people to empower them to make informed decisions concerning their sexual and reproductive health (SRH). YARH plays a key role in building strategic partnerships with other organisations concerned with young people's programmes in Yemen, and involves the young in identifying, articulating, implementing, monitoring and evaluating youth-friendly projects.  YARH is a powerful advocate for political support for sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR). Critical partnerships include the Ministry of Public Health (Department of Reproductive Health, National AIDS programme, General Directorate for Women's and Child's Health); the Ministry of Youth and Sports (Scouts, guides, and Sport Clubs); San'a University; the Population Research and Studies Centre; local NGOs active in population and reproductive health; private universities (Science and Technology Colleague); and human rights, women and gender organizations (including the Women's National Committee and the National Information Centre).

The Reproductive and Family Health Association of Fiji (RFHAF) was inaugurated in June 1996. It has played a key role in shaping national family planning policy and in promoting sexual and reproductive health (SRH) education, particularly among young people and communities in which myths about the dangers of family planning prevail. The use of contraceptives is still believed by many to cause cancer and immature childbirth. RFHAF has also undertaken concerted national advocacy work (with a particular emphasis on HIV and AIDS) through its involvement with the National Advisory Committee on AIDS and the country co-ordinating mechanism. As such, it played a critical role in securing the HIV Prevention and Treatment Decree which outlaws discrimination, promotes counselling, testing and reporting, assures confidentiality, and legislates on the supply of blood products. The organization’s committed promotion of wider awareness of SRH issues is changing attitudes, and as attitudes change, uptake of services increase.
