The Antigua Planned Parenthood Association (APPA) was the first organization in the country to offer family planning services. 

We maintain a clinic at our headquarters, where we provide a full range of clinical services and counselling. 

APPA conducts information and education activities to complement the national programme. 

We offer family planning education and counselling to adolescents and provide family life education in schools. 

APPA holds workshops for teachers and gives presentations at schools, churches and to various community groups. 

We also sponsor television and radio programmes and a counselling hotline for teenagers. 

Increasingly, our programme focus is on meeting the needs of adolescents and we have recently introduced a homework tutoring program and workshops for parents of adolescents.

APPA provides family planning services through 24 community outlets and runs a mobile clinic to reach work sites and rural areas.  We provide family planning education and counselling on sexually transmitted diseases through the community programme.

Secondly to provide a forum for our affilates and associate members to discuss the Sexual and Reprductive Health problems facing the region and coming up with solutions. 

The CFPA also plays a vital role in strengthening the capacity of its FPAs to meet the challenges of the region. 

To this end, we have raised monies from:
