Abstract:

Advance Africa is a five-year family planning and reproductive health (FP/RH) project funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). Advance Africa responds to the continuing need to strengthen and expand FP/RH services in Africa within the context of HIV/AIDS. It is a flexible, comprehensive project, managed by a consortium of six organizations: Academy for Educational Development (AED), Centre for African Family Studies (CAFS), Deloitte Touche Tohamatsu (DTT), Family Health International (FHI), Forum for African Women Educationalists (FAWE), and Management Sciences for Health (MSH). The project’s strategy is to reposition FP/RH as a health intervention through a range of state-of-the-art FP/RH expertise, innovative tools, and a solid understanding of the African setting. The Repositioning Family Planning strategy reorients and reenergizes the family planning agenda on national, regional, and international levels. Repositioning advocates for FP/RH as a cost-effective lifesaving health intervention, promotes FP/RH best practices, and supports the integration of family planning into other HIV/AIDS, health, and non-health programs.
