Joining Forces for Voice and Accountability: An IPPF/WHR-EN Consortium for Civil Society Participation

Key Facts

• Start date: 9 September 2008
• End date: 31 March 2013
• Amount of DFID funding £4,999,999

This project is a five-year advocacy initiative in twelve countries in Latin America and Central Asia/Eastern Europe, and is managed by a consortium led by IPPF/WHR in partnership with the European Network (EN).

Voice focuses on holding national governments accountable for their commitments to achieving universal access to reproductive health and gender equality as necessary prerequisites for eradicating extreme poverty by 2015. Through this project, we hope to improve the capacity of civil society (including IPPF member associations) to influence key decision makers and create policy change in SRHR (Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights) issues.  In addition, we strive to improve the ability of IPPF regional offices to provide high-quality and timely technical assistance to our MAs specific to advocacy and governmental accountability related to SRHR issues.
