About PAI

PAI is a nonprofit, civil society organization based in Washington, D.C. Founded over 50 years ago, we work to advance sexual and reproductive health and rights for all people through U.S. and global advocacy, partnerships with multisectoral institutions and the funding of community-based organizations across Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean.

PAI envisions a world where all people can fully realize their sexual and reproductive health and rights to achieve health equity, economic well-being, and gender equality. We believe that equitable progress for sexual and reproductive health and rights is central in achieving urgent and sustained gains for the health, equality and prosperity of women, youth and at-risk communities around the world.

PAI advocates on the global stage and works with policymakers in Washington, D.C., to drive supportive and expansive U.S. foreign aid and policy for sexual and reproductive health care. We also provide flexible funding and strategic and technical advocacy support community-based organizations in over 30 countries so local advocates can advance sexual and reproductive health investment and policy priorities in their own countries and communities.

We achieve excellence not by simply representing different identities, but by listening to, understanding and making room for others to thrive. Diversity, equity and inclusion go beyond representation, and we’re committed to creating an inclusive and equitable workplace.

PAI has embarked upon a new era of impact and excellence. We are committed to sharing our strengths, elevating the achievements of peer civil society organizations around the world, and using evidence, data and policy insights to hold U.S. and global decision-makers accountable. Despite the threats to sexual and reproductive health and rights in the United States and around the world, we know the power of advocates and are excited to bring on new team members who are inspired by community-led advocacy, accountability, and collective action to demand, protect and advance sexual and reproductive health care for all.
