RHAC is a Cambodian NGO, founded in April 1996 by staff who had been working on the Family Health and Spacing Project (FHSP) managed by Family Planning International Assistance (FPIA). From its origins within the FHSP, RHAC inherited approximately 30 staff, one clinic in Phnom Penh offering primarily reproductive health (RH) services and a small community-based distribution (CBD) system. It was initially funded as an NGO through USAID’s SEATS Project and, during 1996, was accepted as an associate member of the International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF). In April 1999, RHAC became a direct recipient of funds from USAID/Cambodia through a bilateral Cooperative Agreement (CA). By that time, it was operating four clinics (two in Phnom Penh and one each in Battambang and Sihanoukville), had 346 volunteer members providing outreach, and nascent programs in youth reproductive health and HIV/AIDS prevention.
