Ibis’s work in Africa encompasses a wide range of sexual and reproductive health (SRH) issues, including abortion, contraception, and HIV/AIDS. We conduct clinical, operations, and social science research to identify and evaluate bold, new ways to improve access to SRH services and the quality of care. We also study the best ways to integrate HIV and comprehensive SRH services in order to meet the needs of all people, whether HIV positive or negative.
We work closely with local colleagues to use our research to advocate for improved reproductive health policies and service delivery guidelines that reflect the best evidence, ensuring people reap the benefits of global research investments. Ibis opened its Johannesburg office in 2003, and overtime, it has amassed has a large body of work in South Africa, prior to expanding its presence in other parts of Africa.
