The PPD ARO has deep commitment to improving the reproductive health and rights in collaborating and partner countries, in strategic partnership with NGOs and other civil society organizations. The Africa Regional Office links African member countries who each have a strong commitment to the partnership's vision- a continent that meets its reproductive health needs, promotes the population and development agenda and thereby address poverty, through South-South cooperation.
In 2006, the Board of Partners in Population and Development demonstrated its commitment to intensify its activities in Africa by establishing a regional presence. This response recognized the particularly strong needs for both human and financial resources to help the people of Africa get out of the current poverty trap. The Africa Regional Office opened in February 2007 in Kampala, Uganda with the mandate to coordinate a renewed and concerted effort to realize the Vision of “a continent that meets its reproductive health needs, promotes the population and development agenda and thereby addresses poverty, through south-south cooperation.”
Mission: PPD Africa, as part of the global South-South inter-governmental alliance, provides a platform for the promotion of and resource mobilization for Reproductive Health, Population and Development in Africa through three elements:
- Policy dialogue
- Networking and building strategic partnerships in the region
- Sharing of experiences and good practices.
