1\. BACKGROUND OF PLANNED PARENTHOOD ASSOCIATION OF ZAMBIA (PPAZ)

Established in 1972, Planned Parenthood Association of Zambia (PPAZ) is a non-
profit and non- governmental organization and it is a member association of
the International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF). PPAZ envisions a
society in which all people in Zambia enjoy equal sexual and reproductive
health and rights and have equal access to quality and affordable sexual and
reproductive health Information and services. PPAZ’s mission is to advocate
for the sexual and reproductive health and rights of women, men, young people,
especially the vulnerable, and empowers them to make free and informed
reproductive health choices

2\. BACKGROUND OF THE ASSIGNMENT

PPAZ is one of the eight IPPF Member Associations (MAs) led by Partners in
Sexual Health (PSH), South Africa implementing the “Because We Can!” campaign
funded by Amplify Change. The 2-year project seeks to contribute to positive
changes in SRHR and CSE policies and laws, defend progressive policies and
laws from attacks at African Union, SADC and national levels in the
participating Southern African countries, and ensure a more effective
domestication and monitoring of SRHR and CSE policies and commitments.

The project is collaborating with IPPF Member Associations to increase the
number of Southern African CSOs advocating for the domestication and
implementation of SRHR and CSE, support policies and norms protecting youth
rights in Southern Africa and to enhance decision makers’ accountability in
domesticating and implementing continental policies and norms promoting young
people’s SRHR in Southern Africa.

the Because We Can! CSO League, which is a coalition of Civil society
organisations and the Media, that seeks to pursue Sexual Reproductive Health
and Rights (SRHR) advocacy and Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE) in line
with government policy. The coalition was established upon the realization of
the need to take advocacy on SRHR and CSE to the next level to ensure a more
effective domestication and monitoring of SRHR and CSE policies and
commitments.

in domesticating and implementing continental policies and norms promoting
