ECafrique is a bilingual, international network of health care and business professionals seeking to expand the availability of quality emergency contraception (EC) services in Africa.  It was established to help address the unique challenges of introducing, delivering, and mainstreaming quality EC services across the continent. The network operates in French and English, and functions as a non-political, voluntary association, guided by consensus among members and mindful of Africa’s broad ethnic, cultural, and political diversity.
