About Reproductive Health Advocacy Network for Africa (RHANA)

Reproductive Health Advocacy Network for Africa (RHANA) was established following a meeting held in March 2009 in Nairobi Kenya. 

IPPF Africa Region office serves as the Secretariat for the Network.

The Goal of RHANA is to advance a rights based and people-centered development in Africa through reducing maternal deaths and ensuring universal access to sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR). 

The objectives of the network are to:

• To promote, advocate and mobilize support for sexual and reproductive health rights as human rights and central to development
• To strengthen RHANA membership for more inclusion and representativeness of the diverse SRHR and development constituencies
• To demand accountability from governments on implementation of SRHR commitments
• To influence and support relevant African policy development process
• To amplify African voices in relevant global policy development process
