The International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF) is a global movement of over 100 locally led Member Associations working in more than 150 countries to advance Sexual and Reproductive Health, Rights, and Justice (SRHRJ). In the Pacific, IPPF’s Sub-Regional Office is implementing the Pacific Niu Vaka Strategy Phase II (2023–2028), which prioritises Gender Equality, Disability and Social Inclusion (GEDSI) across Member Associations.
In 2025, IPPF supported eight Pacific Member Associations from Fiji, Kiribati, Papua New Guinea, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tonga, Tuvalu, and Vanuatu to complete a GEDSI analysis, building on a 2023 pilot with the Cook Islands Family Welfare Association. The revised GEDSI tools use a five-step process, including self-assessment, baseline scoring, action planning, and stakeholder consultation, to track progress over time.
