The International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF) is a global sexual and reproductive health (SRH) service provider and is a leading advocate of sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) for all. IPPF is a global movement of more than 120 national organizations, referred to as Member Associations (Mas), working with and for communities and individuals, especially the vulnerable and marginalised.

In November 2022, IPPF held its General Assembly in Bogota, Colombia where all Members Associations adopted a new Strategy, entitled: Come Together – Strategy 2028.

The new Strategy calls for major changes to make IPPF well-equipped to uphold SRHR.  The Strategy further commits IPPF to shaping laws, policies, and norms through feminist action and international solidarity; and to nurturing the federation, addressing shortcomings and adding new impetus for real and lasting impact.

In alignment with the new strategy, IPPF-ESEAOR is seeking an individual to fill the position of “Regional MA Support & Development Director” to lead the integrated support, growth and development of Member Associations (MAs) and Collaborative Partners (CPs) in the region and collaborate pro-actively with other Regions and Global functions to leverage Federation wide impact.
