Ibis opened its Johannesburg office in 2003 and we have an established network of NGO, university, and government partners throughout South Africa. We have built a rich body of work on South African young people’s SRH that has included participatory research with young women and community members in urban and rural settings, trainings for health care providers, and the development of SRH curricula. We now lead a national forum to address teenage pregnancy comprised of NGOs, government agencies, and researchers. We also conduct clinical research focused on improving abortion access and quality of care. Our research on medication abortion helped pave the way to the roll-out of medication abortion in public sector clinics in the country. We have led a number of completed and ongoing studies focused on improving second-trimester abortion care.
