PPAG (Planned Parenthood Association of Ghana)

What PPAG (Planned Parenthood Association of Ghana) does

PPAG (Planned Parenthood Association of Ghana) is a registered volunteer-based, non-governmental not-for-profit organization founded in 1967 and headquartered in Accra at 59 Nasia Road, Latebiokoshie. It is Ghana's leading civil society organization working on sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) and a member of the International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF). The organization operates a network of 10 service centers spanning Ghana's 16 regions, including the PPAG Family Health Clinic in Accra, the newly opened PPAG Specialist Hospital in Cape Coast (March 2026), two Kumasi sites (Suame Clinic and the Young & Wise Centre on KNUST campus), and regional clinics in Tamale, Sunyani, Techiman, Kparigu, Sogakope, and Mepe.

Its core product is a multi-modal SRHR service portfolio: comprehensive abortion care, family planning, antenatal/postnatal care, HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment, STI services, gynaecology, gender-based violence support, and specialized obstetric and fertility services delivered through both clinic visits and community outreach. The Young & Wise Centre brand targets the 10-24 youth demographic — over half of Ghana's population — through youth-friendly clinics, peer education, school-based comprehensive sexuality education (CSE), and digital engagement. The organization is governed by a National Council led by President Gideon Yaw Tekpor Leckson-Leckey and Ag. Executive Director Emil Adzasu; a 2024 governance reform established an independent Nominations and Governance Committee.

Revenue is generated through a hybrid model: subsidized clinical service fees at clinics, donor funding from IPPF and other development partners, and volunteer contributions. The 2025 RHE4M partnership with CAMFED Ghana extends programmatic reach into three rural districts. Additional partnerships include the Ghana National Tuberculosis Programme for prison outreach and TB/HIV services. The organization employs 112 staff and is incorporated under the laws of Ghana as an association limited by guarantee (LBG).
