Information:
The Gambia Family Planning Association (GFPA) is a voluntary
NGO that was established in 1968 by a retired doctor named
Dr.
Samuel J. Palmer.
It began by mainly to offer planned parenthood information
and services to the general population especially women in
their reproductive age.
Today, it is focused on disseminating and promoting
quality sexual and reproductive
health information and rights for all men and women in
The Gambia, particularly young people, and protecting people
against AIDS/HIV
via lobbying, advocacy, advice, behaviour change counselling,
use of contraception
and the provision of health care services for partners and
individuals.
The GFPA is run by volunteers who help formulate policy and
make decisions for the Association which are then carried
out through bodies at the district, divisional and national
levels throughout the whole of the Gambia. The National Council,
elected by the General Assembly every two years, performs
the executive functions of the Association.
The work of the GFPA is carried out through local meetings,
discussions, lectures, home visits, and videos.
The organisation is an affiliated member of the International
Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF).
