REPRESENT POPULATION CONNECTION IN COALITIONS FOCUSED ON GRASSROOTS ACTION AND AT PUBLIC PRESENTATIONS AND EXHIBITIONS AS NEEDED. 2021 HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE: CONTINUED TO ENGAGE ACTIVISTS IN THE #FIGHT4HER CAMPAIGN THROUGH GRASSROOTS ORGANIZING AND ACTION, VIRTUALLY. OVER THE PAST FOUR YEARS WE HAVE ENGAGED OVER 55,000 INDIVIDUALS. WE BEGAN PLANNING FOR OUR ANNUAL CAPITOL HILL DAYS ADVOCACY EVENT. WE ENGAGED TEN HIGHLY ENGAGED #FIGHT4HER VOLUNTEERS TO ASSIST US IN THE PLANNING OF THE EVENT, WITH RECRUITMENT, PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT, AND EVENT MANAGEMENT THROUGHOUT THE WEEKEND. WE HOSTED 212 ACTIVISTS FOR THE VIRTUAL EVENT, WHO ATTENDED A SERIES OF LIVE ZOOM SESSIONS ON A VARIETY OF TOPICS INCLUDING GLOBAL REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH POLICY, POPULATION, HEALTH, AND ENVIRONMENT, THE IMPACT OF REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS ON THE LGBTQ+ COMMUNITY AND ON THE GROUND STORIES OF INTERNATIONAL FAMILY PLANNING AND REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH PROGRAMS. WE ALSO HOSTED AN ADVOCACY TRAINING TO PREPARE ACTIVISTS TO MEET WITH THEIR MEMBERS OF CONGRESS. DURING OUR LOBBY DAY, 86 ACTIVISTS MET WITH 91 HOUSE AND SENATE OFFICES TO LOBBY FOR A GREATER U.S. INVESTMENT IN INTERNATIONAL FAMILY PLANNING, SUPPORT FOR UNFPA, AND A PERMANENT LEGISLATIVE BAN ON THE GLOBAL GAG RULE. WE HOSTED A TWITTER RALLY FOCUSED ON PERMANENTLY REPEALING THE GLOBAL GAG RULE, THAT WAS INTERACTED WITH 7,100 TIMES, HAD 1,200 ENGAGEMENTS, AND REACHED 5.3 MILLION PEOPLE. WE RAN OUR FOURTH ANNUAL-AND SECOND ALL VIRTUAL-SUMMER OF HER ORGANIZING TRAINING PROGRAM IN WHICH WE TRAINED ACTIVISTS ON KEY GRASSROOTS ORGANIZING SKILLS AND ABOUT INTERNATIONAL FAMILY PLANNING ISSUES.THIS PROGRAM CULMINATED IN A VIRTUAL SUMMIT THAT 77 PEOPLE ATTENDED, AND WHICH FEATURED TALKS FROM OUR COLLEAGUES AT CONSERVATION THROUGH PUBLIC HEALTH IN UGANDA AND WINGS GUATEMALA.

WE LOOK FOR THE TYPE OF NGO THAT'S BEEN EMBEDDED IN ITS COMMUNITY AND IS AN ORGANIC PART OF THE COMMUNITY, WITH THE MISSION TO IMPROVE THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PEOPLE AND THE ENVIRONMENT. THE VISION OF THESE NGOS IS COMPLEMENTARY WITH POPULATION CONNECTION'S MISSION TO STABILIZE POPULATION AT A LEVEL THAT CAN BE SUSTAINED BY THE ENVIRONMENT. OUR PARTNERS IN 2021 CONSISTED OF CONSERVATION THROUGH PUBLIC HEALTH (CTPH)--UGANDA; WINGS GUATEMALA; AND STRETCHERS YOUTH ORGANISATION (STRETCHERS)-KENYA. WE ALSO ADDED A NEW ORGANIZATION, TURIMIQUIRE FOUNDATION - VENEZUELA. WHILE POPULATION CONNECTION'S ADVOCACY FOCUSES ON INTERNATIONAL FAMILY PLANNING, THE ORGANIZATION ITSELF WORKS AND ADVOCATES IN THE US. WE'RE NOT ON "THE GROUND" SERVING THOSE WHO NEED DIRECT HELP. THEREFORE, WE FEEL IT IS OF VITAL IMPORTANCE THAT WE PARTNER WITH THESE YOUNG, SMALL NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS THAT SERVE THEIR POPULATIONS DIRECTLY. WORKING WITH FOREIGN NGOS CALLS ATTENTION TO REAL WORLD PROGRAMS THAT OPERATE SUCCESSFULLY UNDER EXTREMELY DIFFICULT SITUATIONS. OUR WORK WITH THESE GROUPS SHOWS HOW WE CAN HELP THEM TO MEDIATE RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN HUMANS, THE ENVIRONMENT, AND ANIMALS, RAISING THE QUALITY OF LIFE FOR ALL. THE NGOS HAVE SPECIFIC, ACHIEVABLE METRICS, AND STANDARDIZED METHODS OF EVALUATION, WHICH THEY SHARE WITH US TO DEMONSTRATE THEIR ACHIEVEMENTS AND CHALLENGES. THE GROUPS DO THE FOLLOWING: MEDIATE GORILLA AND HUMAN RELATIONSHIPS IN UGANDA'S NATIONAL PARKS (CTPH); PROVIDE REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH CARE AND EDUCATION TO MARGINALIZED AND POOR COMMUNITIES IN RURAL GUATEMALA (WINGS GUATEMALA); EDUCATE YOUTH ABOUT SEXUALITY AND FAMILY PLANNING (STRETCHERS); AND PROVIDE FAMILY PLANNING SERVICES AND HUMANITARIAN AID TO ISOLATED VENEZUELANS (TURIMIQUIRE FOUNDATION). THE PANDEMIC HAS MADE THE GROUPS' WORK DIFFICULT AND CHALLENGING, HOWEVER, WE'RE HAPPY TO REPORT THAT ALL REACHED (OR APPROACHED) THEIR 2021 GOALS. CONSERVATION THROUGH PUBLIC HEALTH (CTPH) ENABLES A SAFE AND HEALTHY COEXISTENCE BETWEEN HUMANS, GORILLAS, AND OTHER WILDLIFE LIVING IN "CLOSE QUARTERS," IN THE UGANDAN PUBLIC LANDS, PROMOTING AND MANAGING BIODIVERSITY CONSERVATION AND HELPING PEOPLE ACCESS HEALTH SERVICES. THIS HOLISTIC APPROACH IMPROVES LIVELIHOODS AND CONSERVES CRITICAL ECOSYSTEMS, MAKING IT A PERFECT FIT FOR POPULATION CONNECTION'S MISSION OF BALANCING POPULATION GROWTH, HUMAN ACTIVITY, ANIMALS, AND THE ENVIRONMENT. CTPH FULFILLED ITS KEY 2021 GOALS, WITH EXAMPLES THAT INCLUDE 1) INCREASING ITS GORILLA HEALTH MONITORING VIA CLINICAL SIGNS AND FECAL SAMPLING. CTPH FOLLOWED 200+ MOUNTAIN GORILLAS IN THE 22 HABITUATED GORILLA GROUPS OF BWINDI IMPENETRABLE NATIONAL PARK, COLLECTING 1,663 GORILLA FECAL SAMPLES, 458 LIVESTOCK (CATTLE AND GOATS) SAMPLES, AND 249 HUMAN SAMPLES. ANALYSIS REVEALED VITAL INFORMATION REGARDING CLOSE AND FREQUENT INTERACTION BETWEEN GORILLAS, LIVESTOCK, AND HUMANS AT WATER POINTS, CROP GARDENS, AND PUBLIC TRANSPORT TRAILS. ADDITIONALLY, FINDINGS REVEALED INCREASED GORILLA - HUMAN - LIVESTOCK PARASITIC INFECTION FROM FORAGING AT PARK BOUNDARIES OR IN COMMUNITY LAND. 2) IN RESPONSE TO THE PANDEMIC, CTPH LED AN ADVOCACY EFFORT WITH THE AFRICA CSO BIODIVERSITY ALLIANCE (ACBA) ON RESPONSIBLE TOURISM AND THE GREAT APES, INCLUDING DEVELOPING A POLICY BRIEF WITH INTERNATIONAL GORILLA CONSERVATION PROGRAMME (IGCP) TARGETED TOWARDS THE GOVERNMENT, TOUR OPERATORS, AND DONORS. THE BRIEF GUIDED THE RE-OPENING OF GREAT APE TOURISM, ADVOCATING FOR THE REVIEW OF GREAT APE VIEWING GUIDELINES, INCLUDING MANDATORY FACE MASKS AND INCREASING THE 7-METER VIEWING DISTANCE TO 10 METERS. THE LATEST VERSION OF THE GREAT APES POLICY BRIEF WAS DISSEMINATED VIA WEBINAR IN 2022, TRAINING TOURISM AND CONSERVATION STAKEHOLDERS ON SENSITIZING VISITORS AND TOURISTS TO OBSERVE THE RECOMMENDED GREAT APE VIEWING GUIDELINES. WINGS GUATEMALA: WINGS PROVIDES QUALITY REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH SERVICES AND EDUCATION TO UNDERSERVED, PRIMARILY RURAL, GUATEMALAN MEN, WOMEN, AND YOUNG PEOPLE. POPULATION CONNECTION HAS PARTNERED WITH WINGS AS IT WORKS TO ENABLE WOMEN AND FAMILIES TO CONTROL THEIR FERTILITY, THEREBY SLOWING GUATEMALA'S RAPIDLY GROWING POPULATION, AND LOWERING THE USE OF NATURAL RESOURCES. ONE IN THREE (33%) OF INDIGENOUS WOMEN HAS NO ACCESS TO HEALTH AND FAMILY PLANNING SERVICES. AND 80% OF GUATEMALA'S INDIGENOUS POPULATION LIVES IN POVERTY-IN PART DUE TO THIS UNMET NEED. POPULATION CONNECTION'S SUPPORT HELPS WINGS BRING ESSENTIAL REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH CARE TO THE COMMUNITY VIA MOBILE MEDICAL UNITS, STATIONARY CLINICS, SATELLITE TEAMS, AND BY PARTNERING WITH LOCAL HOSPITALS. THE ORGANIZATION OFFERS ACCESS TO THE FULL RANGE OF TEMPORARY AND PERMANENT CONTRACEPTION, AS WELL AS GENERAL REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH SERVICES, INCLUDING CERVICAL CANCER PREVENTION SERVICES AND TREATMENT FOR COMMONLY OCCURRING SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED INFECTIONS (STIS). NOT SURPRISINGLY, COVID-19 HAS HAD A VERY NEGATIVE IMPACT ON GUATEMALANS' HEALTH, ECONOMIC STABILITY, AND EQUITY. THE ORGANIZATION HAS, HOWEVER, FOLLOWED STRINGENT SAFETY RULES, AND HAS CONTINUED TO PROVIDE REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH SERVICES, WHICH COVER THE RANGE OF EDUCATIONAL TALKS, PRIVATE COUNSELING, ALL LONG-ACTING REVERSIBLE CONTRACEPTION, CERVICAL CANCER SCREENING/TREATMENT, AND PERMANENT BIRTH CONTROL PROCEDURES. IN 2021, WINGS CELEBRATED ITS 20TH YEAR OF PROVIDING REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH SERVICES AND EDUCATION TO VULNERABLE GUATEMALAN YOUTH, WOMEN, AND MEN. SINCE THE NGOS EARLIEST DAYS, IT HAS PREVENTED AN ESTIMATED 329,347 UNINTENDED PREGNANCIES, 1,825 CHILD DEATHS, AND 115 MATERNAL DEATHS. THIS PAST YEAR WINGS DEALT WITH A VERY DIFFERENT DISTRIBUTION OF SERVICES THAN WHAT HAD BEEN PROJECTED. LEADING UP TO 2020, TUBAL LIGATIONS HAD BECOME ONE OF THEIR MOST SOUGHT-AFTER SERVICES. BUT DUE TO LIMITED ACCESS TO HOSPITALS AND WHERE WINGS PROVIDES TUBAL LIGATIONS, THEY COULD NOT OFFER THE NUMBER OF CLINICS ORIGINALLY INTENDED, AND PROVIDED 466 OUT OF A PROJECTED 1,609 TUBAL LIGATIONS (29%). FORTUNATELY, VASECTOMIES CAN BE PERFORMED IN CLINICAL SETTINGS OUTSIDE OF HOSPITALS. WINGS HAD AIMED TO PROVIDE 580 AND BECAUSE OF THIS THEY ENDED UP PROVIDING 945 VASECTOMIES (AN INCREASE OF 163%). DESPITE THE CONTINUED RESTRICTIONS OF THE PANDEMIC THROUGH 2021, WINGS ENSURED ACCESS TO QUALITY, AFFORDABLE REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH SERVICES THROUGH A NETWORK OF 30 VOLUNTEER HEALTH PROMOTERS, 3 MOBILE MEDICAL UNITS, 2 STATIONARY CLINICS (ANTIGUA AND GUATEMALA CITY DUMP), AND 4 REGIONAL SATELLITE TEAMS (RETALHULEU/SUCHITEPQUEZ, SANTA ROSA, CHIMALTENANGO, AND ALTA VERAPAZ). THESE OPERATIONS PROVIDED HIGHER RESULTS THAN THE METRICS PREDICTED FOR 2021. BY ADJUSTING ITS OPERATIONS, WINGS' SERVICES INCLUDED EDUCATIONAL TALKS AND PRIVATE COUNSELING FOR SEXUAL AND REPRODUCTIVE NEEDS; SHORT AND LONG-ACTING REVERSIBLE CONTRACEPTION; CERVICAL CANCER SCREENING/TREATMENT; AND PERMANENT BIRTH CONTROL PROCEDURES.STRETCHERS YOUTH ORGANIZATION IS A MEMBERSHIP BASED, YOUTH-LED GRASSROOTS NONPROFIT THAT PROMOTES HEALTH RIGHTS, GOOD GOVERNANCE, AND GENDER EQUALITY AMONG INDIGENOUS YOUTH AND WOMEN IN UNDERSERVED SECTIONS OF KENYA. STRETCHERS WORKS ON INTEGRATION OF CAPACITY BUILDING, AS WELL AS ADVOCACY AND INFORMATION SHARING THROUGH LINKAGE TO SERVICES FOR A SUSTAINABLE SOCIETY. THE GROUP'S GOALS TO IMPROVE HEALTH, GOVERNANCE, GENDER EQUALITY, AND SUSTAINABILITY MAKES IT AN EXCELLENT PARTNER FOR POPULATION CONNECTION. IN 2021, POPULATION CONNECTION SPONSORED THE SECOND PART OF PROJECT KIBE IN MOMBASA COUNTY. INTENDED TO IMPROVE THE SEXUAL AND REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH OF CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS, 10 - 24 YEARS OF AGE, STRETCHERS' GOAL INCLUDED STRENGTHENING HIV AND SRH SERVICES AND COMMUNITY SYSTEMS. YOUTH IN THIS AREA HAVE A MULTIPLICITY OF HEALTH PROBLEMS, ENCOMPASSING SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED INFECTIONS, HIV/AIDS, DRUG AND SUBSTANCE ABUSE, TEEN PREGNANCY, AND SEXUAL AND GENDER BASED VIOLENCE. AMONG STRETCHERS ACTIVITIES AND ACCOMPLISHMENTS WERE SPONSORING TRAININGS ON SRHR (SEXUAL AND REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH AND RIGHTS), WHERE YOUTH LEARNED HOW TO EFFECTIVELY COMMUNICATE RELEVANT ISSUES TO THEIR PEERS. STRETCHERS ALSO ORGANIZED NUMEROUS "COMMUNITY YOUTH VILLAGES," BRINGING TOGETHER YOUTHS FROM MARGINALIZED COMMUNITIES TO HAVE FOCUS GROUP DISCUSSIONS ON THE CHALLENGES THEY FACE. THE GROUP HELD ELEVEN VILLAGES OVER THE YEAR, REACHING APPROXIMATELY 611 ADOLESCENTS IN MOMBASA AND KILIFI COUNTIES.
