Founded in 1976, the Dominica Planned Parenthood Association (DPPA) focused on providing information and education to support the government’s clinical service delivery programme in its early years. It began delivering contraceptive services in response to the significant contraceptive needs of Dominicans (particularly among adolescents), and the staffing constraints of the government programme. As a result, people could be sure of at least one inexpensive, private outlet where their family planning needs could be fully met. DPPA’s clinic is located the centre of the capital city and provides a range of services including family planning, pregnancy tests, family counselling and PAP smear screening. There’s an established community outreach programme which provides family planning through volunteers and shop owners, and an extensive programme of information and education activities. These include distributing pamphlets and posters, broadcasting short talks about family planning on radio and television and conducting community discussions. The negative effects of Dominca’s high adolescent pregnancy rate are aggravated by local practices that force pregnant girls to drop out of school permanently. To reach young people, DPPA provides sexuality and life skills education in secondary schools and to adolescents outside the school system through rap sessions, lectures, discussions and films. DPPA has also established an Under 20 Club, a teen group that trains its members as peer educators.  

Established in 1956, the Family Planning Association of Trinidad and Tobago (FPATT) is a registered not-for-profit organization in Trinidad and Tobago. FPATT is a fully accredited member of the International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF). Locally, FPATT falls under the purview of the Ministry of Social Development and Family Services and works closely with other state agencies including the Ministry of Health. FPATT is acknowledged by its civil society peers, the Government and other stakeholders and gatekeepers as a leader in the delivery of sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services and programmes to all. FPATT consistently provides an integrated package of essential services to men, women, and young people. As a Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) advocate, our work is entrenched in a human rights approach which drives our ethos of leaving no-one behind. In addition to the general population, those classified as at-risk, disenfranchised, vulnerable and marginalized individuals form an important part of our programme focus.     One of FPATT’s main strategies is to create and build diverse networks and partnerships. This includes relationships with state agencies, private sector, international organizations, civil society, grassroots organizations, other global, national, and community-based stakeholders. The goal of these relationships is to support, amplify    and advance FPATT’s work particularly among those most in need. VISION: FPATT is a Leader in the Caribbean Region promoting and ensuring sexual & reproductive health and rights for all. MISSION: To ensure that every person living in Trinidad and Tobago acknowledges the right to the healthy expression of their sexuality and that all persons including the most vulnerable are supported in realizing this right.

The Peruvian Institute for Responsible Parenthood (INPPARES) is a non-governmental institution that has been working for more than 47 years for a country where all people have control over their own bodies and make their own decisions. We work with a focus on rights, gender and intersectionality. We long for a world where all people are free to decide whether to be mothers, fathers or not; free to decide how many children to have and when to have them; free to pursue a healthy sexual life, without fear of unplanned pregnancies and sexually transmitted infections, including HIV-AIDS.A world where gender and sexuality are no longer a cause of inequality or stigma. We have a youth program called Centro Juvenil Futuro (CJF), which each year trains new youth promoters through capacity building in sexual and reproductive health who are spokespersons for our work. Today, we continue to care for the health and accompany the life decisions of thousands of people in Peru. INPPARES is a full member association of IPPF ACRO. Instagram Twitter
