En 2006, la session extraordinaire des ministres de la Santé de l’Union africaine a adopté le Plan d’action de Maputo pour la mise en œuvre du cadre politique continental sur la santé et les droits sexuels et
reproductifs (SDSR), qui a expiré fin 2015. L’objectif était que toutes les pa...rties prenantes et partenaires
d’unir leurs forces et de redoubler d’efforts, afin qu’ensemble, la mise en œuvre efficace du cadre politique continental, y compris l’accès universel à la santé sexuelle et reproductive d’ici 2015, dans tous les
pays d’Afrique puisse être réalisée. Le Plan d’action révisé de Maputo (MPoA) 2016-2030 a ensuite été
approuvé par les chefs d’État de l’Union africaine lors du 27e sommet de l’UA en juillet 2016 à Kigali,
au Rwanda. Le plan renforce l’appel en faveur d’un accès universel à des services complets de santé
sexuelle et reproductive en Afrique et jette les bases des objectifs de développement durable, en particulier les objectifs 3 et 5, ainsi que de l’Agenda 2063 de l’Union africaine.
