Anguilla Family Planning Association (AFPA) is staffed entirely by volunteers.

We assist the government programme by providing contraceptives and clinical supplies, and through information and education programmes.

These include discussions and counselling services offered to community groups and in schools.

We are part of the Caribbean Family Planning Affiliation Ltd.

The Caribbean Family Planning Affiliation Ltd. (CFPA) is the umbrella organization for the smaller FPA's within its region, including:

Anguilla
Antigua and Barbuda
Aruba
Bahamas
Bermuda
Curaçao
Dominica
Grenada
Guadeloupe
Martinique
Montserrat
St. Kitts
St Lucia
St. Maarten
St. Vincent
Virgin Islands (British)
Virgin Islands (USA)

The larger countries of the Caribbean:

Barbados
Belize
Guyana
Jamaica
Trinidad
Suriname

are associate members of the CFPA.

The CFPA has two major roles.  Firstly, our institutional role is to represent our 18 affiliates at the regional and international councils of IPPF. Secondly to provide a forum for our affilates and associate members to discuss the Sexual and Reprductive Health problems facing the region and coming up with solutions. 

The CFPA also plays a vital role in strengthening the capacity of its FPAs to meet the challenges of the region. 

To this end, we have raised monies from:

IPPF
European Union
CIDA
USAID
UNFPA
Population Concern

to institute regional information and education campaigns on:

• family planning
• teenage pregnancy
• sex eduation in schools
• cervical and prostate cancer
• HIV/AIDS

Many of CFPAs affiliates have a Youth Advocacy Movement (YAM) - groups of young men and women who function like a junior arm of the FPA, are trained by the FPA in SRH issues and carry out outreach work among youth on behalf of the FPA.
