PROGRESS: Has your organization seen
progress toward a culture of peace and nonviolence in your domain of
action and in your constituency during the first half of the Decade? |
Yes :
* The State has included family planning as a subject in school curricula, upon our advocacy.
* Adoption of reproductive health programmes on the part of the Ministry of Public Health and Ministry of Social Affairs
* Establishment of a national standing committee for the population
Measures of success:
* Making legislative changes
* Achieving the goals set within the Association’s Advocacy Strategy
* Qualitative and quantitative progress in public stance on raised issues
* Youth involvement in the FPA’s activities and programmes
|
OBSTACLES: What are the most important obstacles that have prevented progress?
|
Major obstacles encountered :
* Some sponsors grant their financial support according to political rather than methodological considerations
* Relatively increasing needs compared to limited resources
* Poor capabilities of the Lebanese Government.
|
ACTIONS: What actions have been
undertaken by your organization to promote a culture of peace and
nonviolence during the first half of the Decade?
|
Action areas :
* Population issues
* Reproductive and sexual health, Family planning
* Youth issues: Participation, protection and prevention
* Women issues: Empowerment and elimination of all kinds of discrimination against women
Most important activities developed :
* The FPA operates according to a set strategy for the period 2003-2007
*
In 2005 changes were made based on the new strategy of the
International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF), known as the 5 As.
*
The new strategy includes working fields related to youth and
adolescents; AIDS; community outreach; and abortion, which is
relatively limited either because there is no actual need for it or due
to community rejection of this notion.
