Since the appointment of the first full time staff in August 1967, the Association has managed to recruit highly qualified staff. The current staff strength of 102 is made up of professionals from various disciplines who are committed and dedicated to their work. Staff work with volunteers to implement programme activities and run the Association.
Working from an arranged office in Korle-Bu in the early years of its establishment, the Association now owns its own head office in Latebiorkorshie and a number of Young & Wise centres and clinics across the country.
Following the opening of the first family planning clinic opened in 1968, the Association now operates 17 Young and Wise Centres and 5 youth friendly clinics all over the country. The Association also introduced the first male SRH clinic in the country.
The PPAG Council and Volunteers have from the very beginning been very conscious of their responsibilities as trustees of the cash grants and commodities donated by IPPF and other donors. They had equally been conscious of the need for PPAG to be self-reliant by generating local funds in addition to the grants
