Mission:

PPASA is a national, non-profit organisation operating in all nine of South Africa's provinces and is an affiliate of the International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF). As the largest NGO providing integrated reproductive health education and services in this country, it has improved access and choice in services throughout its 60-year history. Over the past 10 years the PPASA has evolved significantly in an attempt to meet the growing sexual and reproductive health needs of underserved communities. During the past four years alone its operations have grown threefold. Following South Africa's political transformation, it has emerged as a highly professional organisation with clear plans and a solid strategic focus.

In line with the government's development strategies, the PPASA's work is guided by its commitment to the development of the people. Its aim is to ensure that people have the knowledge to make informed choices about reproductive issues that will be beneficial to themselves and their communities. All of the PPASA's programmes are based on community needs, and the organisation involves communities in the monitoring and evaluation of these programmes.
