We are a newly formed African Coalition focused on abortion research and its effective use within policy and practice.
To advance policy-relevant research, evidence-based advocacy and partnerships that drive transformative policies, practices and societal change for equitable access to safe abortion across Africa.
An Africa where every woman and girl has access to safe, high-quality abortion services, free
from stigma, enabling them to exercise their full reproductive rights with dignity and autonomy.
Our work centres around three strategic pillars:
Building an enabling environment for high-quality, context-specific and policy-relevant abortion research in Africa.
Building a critical mass of skilled and empowered researchers in Africa who generate and effectively communicate high-quality, policy-relevant evidence on abortion.
Increasing engagement of researchers and advocates with policy-makers, health practitioners, the media and community.
The Africa Coalition for Research and Communication on Abortion (ACORCA-COARCA) is the first African-led coalition focused exclusively on improving the production, communication, and use of abortion evidence to inform transformative policy and practice change.
Become part of our community and contribute to our mission.
