CIDA supports the International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF) and is providing $18 million over three years beginning in 2007 to help raise awareness and increase the provision of sexual and reproductive health services. The IPPF supports services provided by 58,000 facilities worldwide to approximately 32 million visitors per year.
