The WISH project is the UK Government’s flagship programme to scale up its support to integrated sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) services in a range of countries across Africa and Asia by 2021. It represents 20% of the UK Governments' FP2020 commitments.

There are two ‘Lots’ implemented through different consortium structures. Marie Stopes International (MSI) leads the WISH Lot 1 consortium. The sub-contractors are IPPF, DKT, Ipas, THINKPLACE, Options, and Leonard Cheshire Disability.

IPPF is committed to supporting Member Associations to develop social enterprise activities for the purpose of generating income, diversifying funding sources and, ultimately, achieving organizational and financial sustainability. IPPF understands social enterprise as using entrepreneurial methods to generate a surplus income, which is used to finance activities that enable the organization to fulfil its social mission.

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.

2015 winners

For 2015, the projects were focused on tackling abortion stigma.

Expanding access to safe abortion is a key priority for IPPF and our Member Associations. A programme at IPPF since 2008 and now in its third phase, the Global Comprehensive Abortion Care Initiative (GCACI) is central to this work. 
GCACI currently supports 14 IPPF Member Associations across four regions to provide quality comprehensive abortion care, increase the uptake of post-abortion contraception and increase access to contraceptive services through service provision in 121 Member Association clinics.
