International Planned Parenthood Federation - Western Hemisphere Region (IPPF/WHR)

Deliver services directly: deliver rights-based services, including safe and legal abortion and hiv services. Millions of women, men, and young people around the world still lack access to high-quality, rights-based sexual and reproductive health services, including safe and legal abortion and hiv services. Poor quality of care contributes to low utilization of services, which exacerbates poor health and mortality related to sex, reproduction, hiv, and reproductive cancers. For more information, see schedule o.

Advocacy: Galvanize commitment and secure legislative, policy, and regulatory improvements. Although many governments have made public statements in support of sexual and reproductive health and rights, and gender equality, many of them have failed to realize their commitments through supportive legislation, policy, and funding. IPPF/WHR will further invest in advocacy at all levels, including supporting Member Associations with capacity building, funding, and monitoring. IPPF/WHR will target key institutions, support and foster interested parliamentarians, engage with community and faith networks, and influence local regional and international processes.

Institutional development: enhance operational effectiveness and double national and global income. Ippf/whr is committed and has an ethical obligation to make the most of its resources and to be flexible and responsive to changing political and economic contexts. To maximize the number of people ippf/whr can serve, it needs to increase its operational effectiveness. Ippf/whr must remain relevant, responsible, and efficient in how it seeks funding, translates it into development outcomes, and sustains services to meet demand. For more information, see schedule o.
