Overview
This grant will support Population Action International to partner with civil society organizations to provide funding and assist them in developing locally led and owned advocacy campaigns and strategies in support of more funding and better policies for family planning and reproductive health. Over five years, PAI will expand and deepen their advocacy work and partnerships, and further support the growth and development of strong civil society champions. It can also help the in-country advocacy organizations connect effectively with global-level processes and opportunities. PAI intends to focus on the in-country advocacy work in Zambia and Malawi, two of the priority countries identified in the current strategic plan.

This grant to PAI is for the second phase of its project to support the Community of Practitioners on Accountability and Social Action in Health (COPASAH), a network of civil society practitioners from the Global South established in 2011. The goal of this project is to strengthen the COPASAH network’s strategic approach toward ensuring that social accountability mechanisms are in place to improve health systems and sexual and reproductive health and rights outcomes at the local, regional, and national levels.

for general operating support
Population Action International (PAI) and its global partners collaborate to advance the health and human rights of women, young people, and at-risk communities and strengthen a bold, diverse global sexual and reproductive health and rights movement.

(Strategy: Global Reproductive Equity)
for improving government accountability for family planning services and supplies in Africa
Population Action International (PAI) works to ensure universal access to quality reproductive health care, including family planning, around the world. This grant will support PAI’s work with civil society organizations in seven countries in East and West Africa to develop a compelling, rigorous, evidence-informed approach that enables civil society-led action to hold governments accountable in delivering on family planning commitments. This grant also enables advocates to demonstrate how equitable, sustained, and/or increased funding for family planning can save lives, improve the health of people in their communities, and contribute to achieving priority development goals and commitments.
