INTERNATIONAL PLANNED PARENTHOOD FEDERATION (IPPF) 1 TERMS OF REFERENCE Consultant: Technical Adviser, Youth Programming 1. Background Today the world is home to 1.8 billion young people under the age of 25. This is the largest generation of young people, ever, and they are a vastly diverse group of individuals. 42% of young people live in poverty. Their limited access to accurate information and opportunities makes them vulnerable to poor sexual and reproductive health. IPPF is a locally owned, globally connected civil society movement that provides health services and champions sexual and reproductive rights for all, especially the under-served. IPPF’s Member Associations deliver sexual and reproductive health services to millions of women and girls each year, and the Federation aims to provide technical leadership to the wider SRHR community based on global expertise. IPPF delivered 95.4 million sexual and reproductive health services to young people in 2018. This represents 43% of total service provision and illustrates IPPF’s continued commitment to the largest-ever generation of young people.
