CEDPA's Reproductive Health Programs

CEDPA is transforming lives by awakening the leadership potential of women to become successful partners in the development of their countries. Internationally recognized for improving the lives of women and girls in over 150 developing countries for over 35 years, CEDPA works through local partnerships to give women tools to improve their lives, families and communities. CEDPA's programs increase educational opportunities for girls, ensure access to lifesaving reproductive health and HIV/AIDS services, and strengthen women's leadership in their nations. With a growing network of more than 5,400 alumni and partners, CEDPA connects with even the most remote communities, working with women that others do not reach.

CEDPA's successful reproductive health programs empower young women and men, to become agents of change in their communities, challenging and changing gender norms and encouraging safe behavior. At the policy level, CEDPA programs empower civil society advocates to shape maternal health policies, leverage representation and provide services for people living with HIV. CEPDA has also been able to shift perceptions of family planning to highlight the numerous health, economic and environmental benefits that supportive policies can provide.
