The year 2024 represented a period of changes and evolutions.

During this time, we stopped to reflect on our path, always keeping the reproductive agenda in Latin America and the Caribbean as our horizon. A year in which we continued to tend our garden:we learned from previous experiences, cultivated new alliances and germinated seeds that today flourish, and that we want to share through this living document.

Internally, Ipas LAC continued to grow, as a result of a continuous process of deep reflection that led us to a new alignment of roles and objectives based on our Theory of Change. In this way we strategically strengthened our partnerships and collaborations with key actors. Undoubtedly, all that was achieved during this year represented a path full of hope.

We still have a lot of work ahead of us to guarantee the right to access safe abortion throughout the region. This journey has been a collective process, in which we have dedicated time and effort. Today, we gain momentum and breath to move forward.

We are transforming the world so that women and others
with the capacity to bear children can make reproductive decisions with autonomy.
We are transforming the world so that reproductive justice is a right.

We are transforming the world to collectively build other possibilities.

This report brings together and highlights some of our achievements. These successes are the fruit of the strategic actions we take in collaboration with activists, partners, medical societies, health professionals, donors and allies.

Learn about all that we have flourished in freedom and joy.
With love,
The entire Ipas LAC team.
Ipas Latin America and the Caribbean (Ipas LAC) is a regional organization that is part of an international nonprofit network working in the Americas, Africa and Asia to ensure that all women and people of childbearing capacity have the freedom and enjoyment of reproductive choice. Ipas LAC is active in Argentina, Colombia, Chile, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico and Nicaragua, joining efforts with key organizations, institutions and individuals to prevent unwanted pregnancies and ensure access to contraception and safe abortion.
At Ipas LAC, we developed a theory of change (ToC) to guide us in planning our garden and sowing seeds of learning and growth. This comprehensive framework guides every decision and action, ensuring alignment with our own goals and maximizing our regional impact.
Our strategic pillars, representing the roots from which we grow, are:
These roots grow deeper and stronger thanks to strategic partnerships with diverse actors that continue to nurture our work, helping it grow and thrive.
What has blossomed during this year is rooted in our approach, which we call a sustainable safe abortion ecosystem.

We define this ecosystem as "a dynamic condition in which resilient local stakeholders and systems are accountable and actively engaged in defending abortion rights and being responsive to the abortion needs of all people."

To strike a balance and ensure a responsive, engaged and sustainable system for abortion services, we share our eight key petals.

As we partner with diverse actors and institutions and tend to our collective garden—represented by the sustainable abortion ecosystem—these flowers transform into fruits that sustain health and well-being.

Here, we share individual testimonies that speak to the fruits of our collective efforts.

Each seed we planted blossomed into concrete actions and strengthened partnerships. In this year’s 2024 harvest, we share the fruits of our collective work—figures that reflect not only the impact of our strategies, but also the shared commitment to advancing SRHR across the region.

At Ipas LAC, we remain good stewards of this essential resource and committed to financial management that is responsible, transparent, and ethical. We comply with all legal, administrative, and ethical requirements to ensure that every resource entrusted to us is used strategically, efficiently, and with impact.  

This steady flow of support allows us to keep cultivating a future where everyone can fully exercise their SRHR. 

In the past year, we allocated 95% of our resources to programmatic activities and only 5% to operating costs, reflecting our priority to maximize the impact of each investment.
