Safe Passage is IPPF’s pioneering global initiative working to deliver uninterrupted sexual and reproductive healthcare for people on the move.Women now make up 47% of all migrants across Africa, and in Latin America and the Caribbean, women represent 52% of all international migrants. With legal pathways for migration shrinking, and funding cuts hitting humanitarian support, at least 8,000 people died on migration routes in 2025.Across every stage of their migration journey, women, girls, LGBTQI communities and sex workers are exposed to violence, exploitation, discrimination and barriers to essential services. Limited access to contraception, antenatal care, and reliable information on the support available to them, increases the risk of unintended pregnancies, untreated infections, and obstetric complications.Connecting care across bordersSafe Passage is led by IPPF Member Associations and connects 15 MAs working in two consortia across Latin America, Africa and the Arab World region. Through a combination of fixed clinics, mobile units, digital health approaches, and referral systems, we ensure that people can access safe, timely, and continuous care throughout their journeys. We provide specialized sexual and reproductive health services, mental health support, and care for survivors of gender-based violence along perilous migration routes.Member Associations are trusted, local organizsations embedded in the communities in which they work. They work alongside government and public authorities and community-based organizations to reduce barriers to accessing care. Alongside supporting internally displaced people, refugees, and migrants, they continue to provide sexual and reproductive health care to host communities, and work to change the narrative on migration from border control to human rights and equality.    Safe Passage in Latin AmericaPatterns of migration have become increasingly complex across Latin America, with people often moving back and forth in search of employment, education or essential services – half of cross-border movements in the region are motivated by the need for healthcare, including sexual and reproductive services. In countries such as Colombia, Venezuela and Ecuador, migration is often marked by forced displacement stemming from socioeconomic crisis or persistent conflict. With some transit routes heavily influenced by organized crime gangs, many migrants are exposed to trafficking, exploitation, and extreme sexual violence.  The Safe Passage Latin America Consortium is led by ProFamilia and brings together seven Member Associations operating across key migration corridors in Colombia, Peru, Mexico, Honduras, Venezuela, Ecuador, and Chile. Each brings their own technical expertise, including humanitarian response, community outreach and mobile SRH services, psychosocial support, and advocacy.  Safe Passage in Africa and the Arab World RegionIn 2024 an estimated 25 million Africans were living in another African country, with over 80% of migration happening within the continent. People take multiple journeys along different routes, many driven by conflict or socioeconomic collapse.  The Safe Passage Arab-African Consortium is led by the Family Planning Association of Morocco (AMPF) and brings together eight IPPF Member Associations across Morocco, Tunisia, Mauritania, Sudan, Niger, Nigeria, Cameroon, and Ethiopia. The consortium reflects the diversity of African and Arab migration dynamics, linking contexts of conflict, prolonged displacement, transit, return, and destination. 

Support for International Family Planning Organizations 2; Sustainable Networks (SIFPO 2) is a five-year programme funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). It is aimed at improving IPPF's capacity to significantly increase family planning programming worldwide, working in partnership with The Population Council and our Member Associations. USAID, through SIFPO 2 is supporting IPPF to deliver high quality, affordable family planning services to young, poor and underserved women and men in USAID priority countries. By strengthening IPPF's organizational capacity and by supporting Member Associations directly, SIFPO 2 is helping build a stronger, more effective Federation. By the end of the project in 2019, we aim to: Strengthen organizational systems and improved capacity to deliver quality family planning and other health programmes Test, implement and disseminate innovations, tools and approaches for delivering family planning services to young, poor and underserved communities Implement or leverage financing mechanism that improve the sustainability of family planning and other health services Strengthen the capacity of IPPF Member Associations and other partner governments to provide high quality family planning and other health services Pursue innovative partnerships to strengthen health service delivery networks  SIFPO 2 will transform IPPF’s systems and capacity to deliver quality assured, affordable family planning. Through a series of targeted investments, IPPF will move to a new trajectory of performance with new systems that enable data driven decision making and partnerships that increase sustainability.  This investment will revolutionize our network and improve health and rights for millions of young, poor and/or underserved women and men in USAID family planning priority countries. Result areas Strengthening Organizational Capacity. The Sustainable Networks award provides IPPF with the opportunity to invest in strengthening its global systems to deliver high quality family planning. The project will allow for targeted contributions to our health management information system, supply chain management, and quality of care. We will support leadership and implementation of best practice across all MAs through organizational learning and investments in impactful, proven models of service delivery. Increasing Sustainability of Country-Level Family Planning. Sustainable Networks offers USAID the opportunity to leverage IPPF’s broad reach and extensive service delivery network by investing directly in locally owned and managed organizations. Through Sustainable Networks, our Member Associations will build the capacity of their local partners to provide high quality family planning and other health services and will pursue innovative partnerships to strengthen their health service delivery networks. Partners  In order to deliver SIFPO-2, IPPF has partnered with selected family planning and research organizations including: The Population Council conducts research to address critical health and development issues. The Population Council will lead the research components of SIFPO-2 and will ensure that systematic evidence is generated on IPPF's programmes for organizational learning and wider dissemination.  University of California San Diego (UCSD) Center on Gender Equity and Health (GEH) conducts innovative global public health research, including developing and evaluating evidence-based policies and practices related to gender-based violence and other gender inequities and their impact on health. IPPF and GEH are adapting and evaluating a promising clinic-based intervention (ARCHES, Addressing Reproductive Coercion in Health Settings) to reduce intimate partner violence, reproductive coercion, and related unintended pregnancy among women and girls attending family planning clinics.  SIFPO-2 is also working in partnership with IPPF member associations in Nepal, Kenya, Malawi, Liberia, the Ivory Coast, Togo, Domonican Republic, Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador.  The Support for International Family Planning Organizations 2 - Sustainable Networks project is a five-year cooperative agreement funded by the US Agency for International Development under Agreement No. AID-0AA-A-14-00038, beginning May 13, 2014.
