International Youth Alliance for Family Planning

The International Youth Alliance for Family Planning (abbreviated as IYAFP but colloquially referred to as “IY”) was born out of the collective vision and passion from young leaders wanting to see a global push towards youth friendly sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR). Five years ago in Addis Ababa, several youth attendees at the 2013 International Conference on Family Planning acted upon this desire to close gaps in youth friendly SRHR and created what is now a global, youth-led movement for better family planning and comprehensive SRHR for all young people. We empower youth aged 15 to 30 with the knowledge, skills, and network to take center stage in everything family planning and SRHR.
