German Foundation for World Population (DSW)

Deutsche Stiftung Weltbevölkerung (DSW) is an international development organisation, which focuses on the needs and potential of the largest youth generation in history. Our objective is to empower young people, especially young women and girls, by creating demand for and access to youth-friendly health information and services including modern contraceptives, and by securing their right to bodily autonomy. With offices in Europe and East Africa, we achieve this through a combination of youth-oriented programmes and gender transformative advocacy that also champions for investments in research and innovation to fight poverty-related diseases and to foster women’s health.
