The Fred Sai Institute (FSI)

The FSI is an initiative of the IPPF Africa Region, established in Sai’s honour as a “pioneer public health research institute, championing research on population and sexual reproductive health to generate evidence on effective health strategies aimed at improving the health of the population in sub-Saharan Africa.”

The FSI will endeavour to bridge this gap through supporting research, modelling and replication of innovative service delivery programs.  The research conducted will generate evidence for sound program design and implementation in the 42 African countries that IPPF Africa Region works in.

The Institute will provide small grants for post graduate research to young women and men.  It will also hold a biennial program science lecture series between academia, NGOs and government to disseminate the findings.
