The International Planned Parenthood Federation’s (IPPF) Charter of Values Guiding Group is seeking new members to contribute expertise and oversight as it enters an external consultation phase. Applicants will derive their expertise from professional or volunteer pursuits as activists, researchers, academics, members of CSOs, philanthropies, international organisations... Their competence and knowledge will address the intersections between realities such as the climate crisis, AI, health and information technologies, evolving political and economic trends and all aspects of sexual and reproductive health, rights and justice. Individuals from the Global south, as well as those whose with expertise derived from lived experience are highly encouraged to apply. Applications from outside of the Federation will be prioritised.
Process
The Charter is being co-created with MAs, through a consultative process grounded in lived experience and national realities. After an extensive, Federation wide, focused consultation, it has now begun an outward facing phase, during which it seeks external expertise on subjects that are likely to influence significantly the Federation’s actions in the coming years. MAs will remain integrally involved throughout the consultation, leading up to the 2025 General Assembly where the Charter will be signed by all MAs and the Secretariat, whether grant receiving or not.
Charter of Values: The Guiding Group
This group - comprised of 8 members- plays a central role in the shaping of the Charter, guiding its evolution and responding to the feedback received through wider consultation and dialogue. Its work is supported by the Secretariat, which convenes it and supports its guiding role whilst making the necessary links to the Committee - Strategy, Investment and Policy (C-SIP) and the Board of Trustees (BoT).
Profile
We are seeking 6 new Guiding Group members who can address the evolution of questions central to SRHRJ, in particular as they impact the Global South and marginalised communities, and their intersections with global changes such as the climate crisis, its prevention and its experience, technological transformations, the roles of AI, evolving norms and aspirations, economic inequalities and the global political landscape.
