Planned Parenthood Association of Ghana (PPAG)

The Planned Parenthood Association of Ghana (PPAG) is a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) established in 1967. It became a full member of IPPF in 1969. The Association has a long history of leadership in Family Planning programmes in Ghana and has pioneered many projects including Family Life Education (FLE) for the Youth, Male Clinics and the integration of Family Planning into Community Development Projects. Originally, the Association was focused on family planning for adults until some transformation began in 1999 with focus on Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR). In line with the ICPD program of action, the National Population Policy and the National Youth Policy, the Association, PPAG expanded its focus to cover young people between10 to 24 years (Primary target), both in and out of school. In addition, men and women of reproductive age remain PPAG’s secondary target. It is currently the leading Non-Governmental Organization providing Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH) services in Ghana. The Association works to complement the efforts of government in providing healthcare and development for the nation.
