The
Continental Policy Framework on Sexual and Reproductive
Health and Rights adopted in Gaborone in October 2005
and the Maputo Plan of Action of September 2006 laid
the basis for a well-concerted action to address burning
Sexual and Reproductive Health issues in Africa. South-South
cooperation has been highlighted as one of the key routes
for the attainment of the objectives of the Framework
and the Plan of Action.
The
11th Executive Committee Meeting of PPD held in April
2006 in China took the opportune decision to open an
Africa Office to oversee Sexual and Reproductive Health
program in Africa while fostering South-South Cooperation
as a way forward.
In
this context, PPD opened
an Africa Office in February 2007 that, besides organizing
forums, meetings on Sexual and Reproductive Health,
will also conduct high level policy dialogue with African
leaders, new partners and stakeholders to ensure their
full participation in PPD activities and promote South-South
Cooperation for effective transfer of knowledge, information,
technologies and commodity support security.
