The Japan Trust Fund (JTF) represents a visionary partnership that began in 2000 between the Government of Japan and IPPF. Together, we invest in programmes that prioritize health equity, gender equality, and human security for all. Traditionally a driving force behind IPPF's efforts to support the integrated HIV prevention programmes of our Member Associations in Africa and Asia, JTF has adjusted to reflect changing global health priorities.
Every year the IPPF awards grants to its young volunteers from around the world to support youth-led projects on sexual and reproductive health and rights.
For 2015, the projects were focused on tackling abortion stigma.
Dr. Amr Elayat is Executive Director of the Egyptian Family Planning Association. He has been a strong supporter of IPPF's Sexual Rights Declaration and has sought to have it adopted and implemented at the national level, challenging cultural constraints and meeting fierce opposition.
