In 2024:
1. We collaborate with health authorities to raise awareness of the need to allocate funds to reproductive health services as a priority. In addition, we participate in collective efforts with other civil society organizations to mobilize cooperative funds to guarantee the necessary resources to keep abortion services accessible.
Ipas LAC supported 28 civil society organizations and 7 ASCNs through strategic grants, ensuring the sustainability and continuity of their work to promote sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR). In addition to this financial support, we accompanied them in strengthening their ability to mobilize resources independently and access new funding opportunities.
