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).
