TITLE: Consultant – Mid-Term Review of FPA Sri Lanka Strategic Plan (2023–2028)

PERIOD: 04 Months (January to April 2026)

FPA Sri Lanka (FPASL) is a leading national organization for Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) and a Member Association of IPPF (International Planned Parenthood Federation). In 2023, FPASL launched its Strategic Plan 2023–2028, titled “Boldly Beyond Boundaries,” which aligns with IPPF’s global “Come Together” Strategy 2028 framework. This Strategic Plan is structured around four strategic pillars, with three pathways (priority action areas) under each pillar, mirroring IPPF’s approah. The four pillars – Center Care on People, Move the Sexuality Agenda, Solidarity for Change, and Nurture our Association – guide FPASL’s transformative agenda, each focusing on different aspects of SRHR advancement and organizational development. For example, Pillar 1 (“Center Care on People”) focuses on equitable service delivery through pathways like “Widen Access,” “Expand Choice,” and “Advanced Digital Self-Care,” ensuring no one is left underserved. Pillar 2 (“Move the Sexuality Agenda”) emphasizes advocacy and norm change with pathways such as “Ground Advocacy,” “Shift Norms,” and “Act with Youth,” underscoring youth empowerment and gender equality. Pillar 3 (“Solidarity for Change”) leverages partnerships and innovation via pathways like “Support Social Movements,” “Build Strategic Partnerships,” and “Innovate & Share Knowledge” to advance SRHR in intersectional ways. Pillar 4 (“Nurture Our Association”) focuses inward on organizational strength and sustainability through pathways such as “Chart Our Identity,” “Grow Our Association,” and “Walk the Talk”.
