Strategy 2028

In November 2022, the Member Associations came together in Bogotá, Colombia to unanimously approve the federation’s new strategy. ‘Come Together’ is ambitious, it is radical, and it paves a new path for IPPF as a global powerhouse in sexual and reproductive health, rights, and justice.

Importantly, the strategy contains many ambitious commitments. It is our collective responsibility to implement them. This page serves as a reminder of what we have promised. As we embark on the journey of strategic delivery, we cannot allow our commitments to fade into the background. Our success and impact in an ever-changing world will be measured against how we do on these commitments.

Please browse the commitments below and leave a leave a comment to show others what you are doing. Or simply express your passion and excitement about one or more commitments. Tell us why it matters.
