Within ICA Foundation’s network partnership with the International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF), El Centro Paraguayo de Estudios de Población (CEPEP), a member organization of IPPF in Paraguay since 1966, received 300 LNG IUS in 2010 for distribution in the organization’s four clinics. The LNG IUS distribution was integrated with all other family planning, sexual and reproductive health services, research and advocacy activities that CEPEP focuses on throughout urban and rural communities of this underserved population.
