President’s Message mr. jefferson kirton, president, bfpa

The Barbados Family Planning Association (BFPA) is regarded as one of the foremost health non-governmental organizations in Barbados today. With 57 years of service to the Barbadian Community in the area of Sexual and Reproductive Health it has more than justified the confidence reposed in it by successive administrations and the public at large throughout this extended period of public service.

The vision of our founding fathers was sufficiently flexible to permit the Association to maintain its relevance in this ever changing Society. With services ranging from anti-natal clinics, men’s health clinic and in recent times emphasis on the general practice clinic, the BFPA continues to cater to the needs of a wide cross section of society with a range of services which are highly subsidized by Government and the International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF). Though subsidized, these services have retained an enviable quality. We are pleased as a Board of Directors to carry on the good work of those who have gone before, and we are committed to continuing the good work in sexual and reproductive services so desperately needed in our Society in these very challenging times. I believe that we have survived this long because we hold the view that everyone is entitled to sexual and reproductive health services regardless of their ability to pay. Because of the prevailing economic situation across the world efforts must be made to protect the vulnerable, underserved and marginalized. In addition, it is evident that more and more persons are leaning towards the services of the Association because of the quality of service and the affordability of the subsidized fees. We feel a strong commitment to work in partnership with Governments in the health and wellness of its citizens thus easing the strain on the health purse while discharging the mandate of the organization.

We further pledge to intensify our efforts at making the BFPA a more sustainable organization as we fight to survive in this era of unprecedented economic turbulence in the life of the organization.

Board of Directors In my years as President of this Association, the Board has never been faced with such major challenges to keep the Association on its feet. The Board has been called upon more often than not to make policy decisions to ensure the viability of the Association. I wish to thank all my Board members for their dedication and commitment to the continued development of the Association which in turn translates into a quality service to a deserving public. As the leader of any organization would agree, the support of its Board is paramount in moving any Association forward. During the past year the Board lost a stalwart in Mr. Erskine Callender who has made a tremendous contribution to the development of this Association. In his last year, because of his sickness, he was not able to attend formal meetings, but was still a source of inspiration and guidance to this President. It is within this context that I have determined that the President’s Award this year will be presented, posthumously, to Mr. Erskine Callender for his years of service and tremendous support for the Association. Mr. Callender’s view that all of our services must be made accessible to all of our people regardless of their ability to pay was in keeping with the mandate of the family planning philosophy locally, regionally and internationally. On behalf of the Board, I wish to pay our deepest respect to this gentleman for his service rendered.

56th Annual Report 2010

In 1954, a group of men and women were convinced that something had to be done to assist Barbadians in determining the number and spacing of births per family. It is projected that had the island continued without this intervention, Barbados would have been faced with the daunting task of catering to the needs of a population in excess of the capability of its land mass to accommodate.

The Way Forward The Association must seek to attract funding from Corporate Barbados on a consistent basis if it is to survive. The public continues to believe that this Association is an arm of Government and has tended not to include it in its preferences for support. I must tell you that this is far from the truth and the Association is holding out to you for urgently needed support. Barbadians have all benefited from the many services we have offered over the years.

The Barbados Family Planning Association

Government has also benefited from the work we have done over the years.

We invite Corporate Barbados to come on board to assist us in this ongoing battle to help Barbadians at all levels of society to enjoy the best sexual and reproductive health possible. After all, a healthy employee makes a most healthy and productive worker. We have a dedicated staff which has had to take the brunt of this reduced revenue over the past couple of years. While we are grateful to them for their patience over the years, we cannot expect that to continue indefinitely. We hope that in the immediate future we would be able to show to them our gratitude, for they too, have shown tremendous depth of support for this Barbados Family Planning Association and Barbados generally.

Executive Director’s Message mr. george s. griffith, scm, ms, jp

I have long heard it said that “a doubtful friend is worse than an enemy”. On the basis of its 57 years of public service, the Barbados Family Planning Association has earned the friendship, trust and respect of the vast majority of Barbadians.

students of the socioeconomic development of Barbados and for policy makers in particular whose policies and programmes in 21st century Barbados can make or break the future of the family planning movement. In those desperate times, the enlightened Government of the day found a friend in the then fledging international family planning movement.

This courageous and progressive NGO can reflect with much pride on the outstanding contribution it has made to the growth and development of the Barbados we are proud to call our own. A Barbados which has earned the enviable international ranking of number one developing country in the world.

From then until now the Barbados Family Planning Association has been not only a friend in need but a friend indeed, there was no doubt in that friendship and Barbados has been a significant beneficiary.

Citizens from all walks of life speak with pride of this country’s stability, quality of education, health care and democracy which guarantees to each and everyone such fundamental rights and freedoms as are consistent with our intrinsic worth and dignity as human beings.

In paragraph 22 (part 2) of the report, the point was made that family planning offered the country hope and that there was ample evidence that the upper classes and those in higher income groups understood and were availing themselves of family planning services.

We often speak glowingly and even passionately of the quality of our nation’s infrastructural development and quality of life inspite of the country’s very limited natural resources. But how many of us pause to think that these very valuable and admirable achievements were not realized in a vacuum or by happenstance but by courageous and deliberate visionary leadership over many years by men and women who dared in those critical years to take the road less travelled.

The Government’s report urged that the most destitute and disadvantaged members of the community be educated and provided with the same services available to the privileged “so that the poorer women need not resort to the use of injurious herbs and abortions as a means of limiting their families”.

Few of us seem to remember the Barbados which existed before there was a family planning movement, for those who have a desire to know I comment as reading the supplement to the official Gazette dated August 26, 1954 which was laid in Parliament on July 20, that same year. This document, the Report of the Joint Committee appointed by the two Houses of the Legislature to examine the question of “over-population in Barbados and to make recommendations for dealing with this problem” outlines the genesis of the BFPA and its value to Barbados. It ought to be essential reading for

According to the report in those days the infant mortality rate was 136 per 1,000 live births, maternal mortality was also high and “many of the children born were unwanted and dying of intercurrent diseases associated with malnutrition and neglect.” Those were the days of the “Alms Houses” before polyclinics were invented and health centres were now emerging on the local landscape. In those “bad old days” the BFPA was the salvation of Barbadian women especially the poorest of the poor and given the backwardness and hostile attitude of the Church and some fractious politicians of that era, it was called upon to provide a service which was essential but which the Government of the day could not openly embrace.

56th Annual Report 2010

As to be expected in a society where selfism and hypocrisy are alive and well, it has attracted more than its fair share of enemies and we must not forget to mention that nebulous group of ambivalent souls who can at best be described as “doubtful friends”.

At the turn of the 20th century, Margaret Sanger, that international revoluntary and champion of women’s liberation and rights was preaching that “every child brought into the world must be wanted and loved and given education and opportunity”.

She was also making the very valid point that “no woman can call herself free until she can choose consciously whether she will or will not be a mother” and that “woman must be owner of her own body”. In 1912 those words were enough to secure a prison term and that pioneer of women’s rights served not one or two but nine periods of incarceration without flinching.

The Barbados Family Planning Association

We who have inherited her legacy and that of a courageous group of local pioneers have a tendency to be unmindful of those whose blood, sweat and tears have made possible today’s enviable quality of life.

The role of the BFPA in the astronomical advancement of Barbadian women and females generally is undeniable even by those who have traditionally set themselves up in opposition to the philosophy of the family planning movement. But we are proud of our advocacy efforts on behalf of the women of this country and their prominence in the major professions and all other areas of national life. Their ability to make the fullest use of their educational opportunities and the control of their reproductive capacity by recognizing and embracing their rights as women who are guaranteed the right to equality in all spheres of national life, can be attributed to the likes of Margaret Sanger and the trail blazers of the family planning fraternity. We fail to recognize this historical fact at our peril. Gone are the days when birth control or population control was the mantra of family planning. For the past 25 years or so we have been promoting the quality of life through the promotion and provision of a comprehensive range of sexual and reproductive health services. This includes education specially designed for all ages and stages of development within institutions and places of learning inclusive of the community.

As it was fifty-seven years ago, so it is today in terms of the ambivalent attitude and environment within which the fledgling BFPA cut its teeth. We have come a long way since then and Barbados and Barbadians have much to show for it. As we grapple with today’s persistent economic challenges and the era of budget reductions and other indicators of economic stringency, let us find ways and means of maintaining support for those NGO’s which have stood the test of time by contributing to the public good in and out of season. Today’s challenges cannot be overcome by indiscriminate budget cuts alone since any relaxation in the battle against unwanted pregnancy, high infant and maternal mortality rates, the incidence of STI’s, HIV/AIDS coupled with the absence of good quality sexuality education and a comprehensive range of RH services generally could lead to a reversal in those hard won gains which would not only require larger budgets to bring under control but could result in considerably greater costs in terms of human pain, suffering and developmental regression of the society generally. The NGO sector and Government must of necessity close ranks by pooling resources and strategically making the greatest use of the comparative advantage which can be readily identified in the effective working relationship which has survived numerous administrations on both sides. There is no room for doubtful friends in today’s financial crisis. For the sake of Barbados and the welfare of all citizens the BFPA needs the genuine support of its friends and stake holders now.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;the BFPA has continued rolling on in spite of the persistent economic turbulenceâ&#x20AC;?

Overview

Like old man river, the BFPA has continued rolling on in spite of the persistent economic turbulence which has surrounded it during the year in review and despite the economic body blows which it has sustained in the form of drastic consecutive cuts in its subvention.

Not so with the Barbados Family Planning Association which has earned the enviable history of being the oldest Family Planning Association in the Western Hemisphere Region and one of the oldest in the world. In addition, fifty-seven years of high quality service to the public of Barbados, the region and the Western Hemisphere generally have demonstrated its resilience and tenacity not to mention its unyielding courage, determination and commitment to its philosophy by its founders, Board of Directors, staff and stake holders generally. The year in review therefore will be remembered as one of the most challenging the organization has experienced in its entire history for never before has it had to cope with such drastic reductions in revenue from what has been its most secure and reliable source of funding since the first subvention from the Government of Barbados in 1954. The report on the work of the BFPA during the period January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2010 has therefore been fashioned and shaped by the extraordinary set of financial constraints occasioned by a protracted recession which the country continues to face and the unprecedented decline in revenue during the period under review. Extraordinary prudence in the financial management of the organization coupled with the existing disciplined and committed staff team have made possible the realization of a year end performance of excess revenue over expenditure of $9,570. This has been a significant achievement when elevated inflation rates and loss income are taken into consideration.

The subvention from the Government of Barbados fell by 16.5% from $1,050,000 for the period April 2009, to March 2010 to $877,000 for the financial period April 2010 to March 2011. The amount actually received from the Government for the financial period January to December 2010 was $920,250. Total income fell by 3.35% from $1,755,944 in year 2009 to $1,697,095 in the year under review. In the interest of clarity it must be noted that in October 2009, the budget for 2010 was approved at $1,806,412 but of necessity had to be adjusted downward as a consequence of the reduction in Governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Subvention by $173,000. Similarly, cash and inventory grants from the International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF/WHR) fell by 8.6% while income from the sale of medical and related services fell by 3.8% in year 2010, recording $542,178 when compared with $563,573 in the previous year. Conscious of the economic turmoil present in the local economy and its impact on the organization, renewed efforts were made to reinforce the strategy of cost containment in an attempt to maintain the integrity of the yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s budget. Accordingly, operating expenditure was reduced by 2.87% from $1,737,331 in the prior year to $1,687,525 in year 2010. Staff costs was also reduced by 7.4% while a number of vacant positions remained unfilled as relevant duties were reallocated to other officers. As was the case in previous years, salary and wage increases which became due were once more suspended in light of the prevailing economic conditions. The following report seeks to present the work of the organization in as clear and unvarnished a light as dictated by the honesty and good governance which have traditionally characterized the work of the organization over so many years.

56th Annual Report 2010

To have lost the sum of $250,000 in two consecutive financial years would have been more than enough to ensure the demise of the average NGO or to render it literally ineffective in terms of its ability to discharge its mandate to the people of Barbados.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Persons accessing counselling services grew by 17% when compared

The Barbados Family Planning Association

with the prior yearâ&#x20AC;?

Medical and Clinical Services

Medical and clinical services were maintained at a consistently high quality in spite of the challenging social and economic environment.

Cytology Services The number of pap smear screening tests remained constant during the period under review even though revenue from this service grew by 1.5 % from $42,763 in 2009 to $43,414 in 2010. A limited marketing campaign “Take Care of Your Self” was conducted in September. This resulted in an increase in the number of women accessing this service when compared with the months of July and August where declines were recorded. It is believed that the lack of growth in this area can be attributed to the challenging economic times e.g. rising unemployment, inflation in the local economy and the apparent tendency by some persons to defer preventative screening. This is a very potentially dangerous action since it is generally agreed that “the best prevention is early detection”. Continued marketing of this important service is absolutely necessary if the incidence of cervical cancer is to be reversed.

Cryo Surgery This service was reintroduced during the year with the acquisition of new equipment. It is anticipated that a full year of service provision in this area will reflect higher levels of utilization in the next reporting year. An increase of 4% was

reported when compared with year 2009. The decline of 8% in year 2009 has been reversed by marginal growth in the current year.

Colposcopy The introduction of a new culposcope in year 2009 resulted in a 25% increase in income during that year, however, there has been a 13% decrease during the reporting year from 64 in year 2009 to 56 in year 2010. Efforts must be made to ensure the consistent marketing of this service which has been a victim of the economic environment.

General Clinic Activity With few exceptions there has been a general decline in persons accessing clinic services during the year under review. This is borne out by declines of 12% in new acceptors, 5% in pregnancy tests, 3% in clients utilizing the clinic, 5% decline in old client visits and 12% decline in contraceptive visits. The generalized decline in numbers notwithstanding expansion in clinic revenue in the following areas were realized: 1% increase in medical examinations and other medical services from $237,227 in 2009 to $239,617 in 2010 and 6.7% increase in revenue for ultrasound services from $4,150 in 2009 to $4,430 in 2010.

Counselling Services Persons accessing counseling services grew by 17% when compared with the prior year, this rate of growth is much slower than the 42% recorded in year 2009. This slower growth rate is most likely due to the Organization’s decision not to fill the vacant social work position on economic grounds and the shortage of nursing staff during periods of the year.

56th Annual Report 2010

The clinic at Six Cross Roads was discontinued during the year as a cost-saving measure and in an attempt to maximize the utilization of existing medical and nursing services at the headquarters clinic. Where absolutely necessary sessional nursing staff were engaged in an effort to supplement existing nursing staff while maintaining an acceptable quality of services to clients.

Open Day Activity

Men’s Clinic

The annual open day for men, women and youth as part of BFPA’s week of activities was held successfully during the period under review with an open day for women on May 25th and for men on the 26th.

The investment in this area of reproductive health has grown consistently since its establishment thirteen years ago. A 5% increase in male client services from 878 in year 2009 to 919 in the current year 2010, highlights the value and appreciation of the services provided for men.

There was an 18% increase in persons attending the clinic in 2010 when compared with the prior year. As is now customary, some services attracted a 50% discount in price while others were free of cost. Lecture/discussions were held throughout the day. Topics included stress management, breast examination/breast cancer screening. Stake holders representing a number of pharmaceutical companies displayed their products, educational information/ materials and distributed samples of their products.

There has also been a 7% increase in total male clients, growing from 515 in year 2009 to 551 in year 2010. A cause for some concern is the fact that there has been a 17% reduction in the number of new clients accessing services from 305 in 2009 to 253 in year 2010. This reduction in the growth rate for new male clients is largely due to the absence of a visiting urologist who frequently participated in radio and television programme on men’s health along with BFPA’s Executive Director. Those media appearances contributed to the marketing of BFPA’s male clinic and resulted in a healthy demand for the services of the clinic. Efforts to attract the services of a specialist urologist are ongoing. Meanwhile, the male clinic continues to be staffed by a very competent and dedicated team of both male and female doctors under the supervision of Mr. Christopher Warner FRCS (General Surgeon).

Clinic Management Systems

Conclusions

The Integrated Clinic Management System using the open EMR technology continues to make possible a more efficient and effective service to clients while allowing the organization to record very accurately the number and range of services accessed by clients during each visit.

The wide range of sexual and reproductive health services offered by the BFPA continues to enjoy the confidence of the Barbadian population and the incremental expansion of service options has conveyed to clients and the public at large that the organization is truly on the cutting edge of modern comprehensive reproductive health service provision.

Reports are more readily generated using the system for accounting purposes, statistical purposes and procurement functions, in addition inventory control is made much easier in a way which approximates the perpetual inventory system while recording the value and cost of each transaction in real time. The introduction of this technology under the auspices of the IPPF/WHR has truly brought the BFPAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reproductive health services management into the 21st century.

The greatest obstacle to the maximization of clinic services output is the scarcity of funding for the conducting of an assertive and sustained marketing programme. The Medical Director and her team of professional, support and ancillary staff are to be highly commended for maintaining the existing range and quality of service in todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hostile economic climate.

Community Based Distribution of Contraceptives (CBDC) The CBDC programme which appeared to have had a new lease on life with the introduction of Optinor the emergency contraceptive pill in 2008 has shown signs of regression during the year under review. Declines in both distribution and sale of two of the principal products in the programme, namely Optinor and Microgynon were recorded. Distribution of Microgynon fell from 2473 cycles in year 2009 to 1486 cycles in year 2010, while sales fell from 1878 cycles in year 2009 to 1586 cycles in year 2010. Distribution

Revenue from the sale of optinor and microgynon for the year in review realized $11,220 and $7,227 respectively. It is projected that with the recent completion of the restricting of ICON, IPPFâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pharmaceutical company, some semblance of stability will return to the availability and supply of contraceptive and other reproductive health products. The very narrow range of products available to the CBDC programme has frustrated clients and stake holders alike to the extent that a number of community outlets have sought alternative sources of supply. It is anticipated that the reconfigured ICON will usher in a wider range of products capable of satisfying market demands at cost-effective prices while contributing to the reviving of this long suffering CBDC programme.

Family Development Services

A nominal fee was charged in an effort to defray some costs. This service provided by trained BFPA clinic nurses was very well received by the public.

Demand for the services of BFPA’s community education team continued unabated during the year in review inspite of the challenge to satisfy the volume of demand occasioned by the organisation’s inability to fill two vacant positions which would have satisfied a greater number of requests.

This proved a welcomed addition to the customary distribution of family life education materials, reproductive health brochures and male and female condoms to appropriate persons. Lecture/discussions were presented to students of the Division of Nursing of the Barbados Community College and Junior Liaison Scheme summer camp programme. The BFPA’s community outreach team contributed to the success of sixteen (16) community health fairs and made presentations where possible in a number of churches and community centres as well as on live radio and television programmes throughout the year.

Invitations were received from Government agencies, the private sector, religious organizations and the NGO sector generally. A consistent addition to the usual health fair format was the provision of screening in the areas of blood sugar, blood pressure, cholesterol and the rapid results prostate specific antigen (PSA) test.

Youth Services

Youth Drop In Centre - Room 246 The programmes of the Youth Drop In Centre continued to gain momentum during the year in review, 2010.

Leah Marville Love Campaign & School Tour This initiative was the brain child of the former Miss Barbados World, Leah Marville. Using edutainment, she embarked on a nationwide school tour as a platform to address the issue of HIV & AIDS among young people. YAM members worked along with her and a number of popular local entertainers and artistes to reach over 10,000 young people over a period of 2 weeks.

Barbados Council for the Disabled: Disabled Youth SRH Workshop – Educating disabled youth about SRH issues YAM’s involvement in this initiative was vital in the Council’s aim of establishing peer educators for their youth with disabilities. YAM was able to provide education to 20 disabled youth in the areas of Puberty, Sexuality and Contraceptive Methods.

Barbados Youth Development Council (BYDC) Youth Festival – Annual National Youth Festival YAM is a member of the BYDC and performed a duel role in this festival. With hundreds of young people in attendance, this was a great opportunity for raising further awareness of the movement, its commitment to youth sexual and reproductive health and recruitment of new members for the organization.

Girlfriends Expo The year 2010 was the 3rd year that YAM/BFPA was involved in the Annual Girlfriends Expo. The female condom, with literature distribution and condom demonstrations was the main focus of YAM’s message. The experience of interacting with more than 400 mature men and women was a startling reminder that there is still much ambivalence regarding the female condom, hence the need for greater attention to be paid to this area of reproductive health education.

UNIVERSITY OF THE WEST INDIES (UWI ) HARP Campus Outreach

Barbados Workers’ Union Annual May Day Parade

Working on campus allowed for peer to peer interaction through networking with UWI HARP and assisting this tertiary institution with its HIV/AIDS prevention programme. More than 300 young people were reached through this initiative.

Involvement in the annual May Day (Labour Day) activities has been impactful in the area of Sexual and Reproductive Health & Rights, but more specifically regarding youth involvement and youth-led initiatives pertaining to positive and healthy sexual behaviours. Through the provision of educational literature and condom demonstrations, interaction was made with over 500 persons on the day.

Participation in events, such as those listed above, continued to provide increased awareness of YAM and, by extension, other youth services available through the BFPA. These events allowed for advocacy opportunities to continue to be made available thus providing a platform for the voice of youth to be heard on key social development issues in addition to comprehensive sexual and reproductive health initiatives.

56th Annual Report 2010

Training for members of the Youth Advocacy Movement (YAM) in Family Life Education and Peer Counselling for their community role as peer educators and peer counsellors is proving to be an important building block for the development of members and potential members throughout the year.

Youth Advocacy Movement (YAM) YAM’s community outreach initiatives which gained momentum in year 2009 continued throughout the year 2010. The success of these efforts were again seen in the increased number of youth joining the YAM movement via recruitment drives and outreaches that spanned the length and breadth of the island. In 2009 YAM maintained a membership of 25 persons. In 2010 it was increased by 20%, moving to a total of 30 active members.

The effectiveness of YAM’s programme throughout the year in review can be measured in part by the expansion of its membership. The restructuring and refocusing of YAM continued to be a top priority within the youth department. New initiatives and strategies were placed on the table with a view to bringing increased structure and stability to the organization. One such strategy was the realization of the full complement of members serving on the Executive Committee, this significantly improved YAM’s effectiveness and efficiency.

Plant, Equipment And Furniture

Maintenance and Equipment The age of the buildings housing the offices and clinic facilities of the BFPA has demanded a robust schedule of repairs and maintenance over the years. The past year, 2010 was no exception. Repair work included the following: • Rebuilding the termite infested palisade covering the northern entrance of the clinic. • New security buzzer system in the main office. • Replacing and/or upgrading defective doors in the main clinic. • Repair work to the exterior wall of the building on Bay Street. • Improving the operating theatre entrance.

Air Conditioning

Equipment

Needless to say, existing financial challenges notwithstanding, efforts are ongoing to ensure the comfort of clients and staff alike by finding a way to refurbish, repair or secure the appropriate number of units.

• •

A sterilizer given by IPPF London was installed. The purchase and installation of a new anaesthetic machine in the operating theatre. The acquisition of new examination stools for examination and treatment rooms and A stepping stool for the theatre bed in the Pfizer Suite.

56th Annual Report 2010

• •

Air conditioning units which have contributed significally to the provision of comfort to clients and staff alike over the years are now providing clear evidence of considerable wear and tear. Of the twenty-seven units (27) scattered across the four buildings, ten (10) are reported by TMR, the local service providers, to be in extremely poor condition. The cost of replacing these units is $25,594 for option one and $18,244 for option two.

Finance

Overview: The protracted recession has adversely impacted on the financial position of the BFPA and its revenue-earning capacity.

The very hostile domestic environment which has been characterized by high unemployment, reduced consumer spending, increase inflation levels, and elevated levels of anxiety among a wide cross section of Barbadians has contributed to a worsening situation for the organization. To describe the reporting period as challenging would therefore be an understatement. The most glaring evidence of this has been manifested in the reduced earning capacity within the workforce and by extension a reduced demand by clients for services.

As anticipated in the prior year when recessionary trends appeared to have been deepening the BFPAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s three-prong strategy of: a. b. c.

Cost containment Improved revenue generation and Expansion of services, served the organization well.

This can be seen in the BFPAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to maintain expenditure to within 0.1% of the revenue loss for the relevant period. In addition, the financial management strategy deployed then and inspite of the harsh economic environment, the year end performance resulted in excess revenue over expenditure of $9,570 with a working ratio of 1.3:1.

Expenditure

The popularity of the emergency contraceptive pill Optinor, which was introduced in June 2008, continued during the reporting period 2010. Some anxiety with respect to the consistent supply of this product emerged during the year as a consequence of the restructuring of ICON, IPPF’s Pharmaceutical Company. Consumer preference for Optinor plus the distribution of Microgynon, Lofemenal and Copper T resulted in a 15.8% increase in revenue from $16,800 in 2009 to $19,449 in year 2010.

Consistent with the strategy of cost containment, operational expenditure decreased by 2.87% recording $1,687,525 when compared with $1,737,331. in the previous year.

The Barbados Family Planning Association

Roselle (Contraceptive Pill)

A relatively new addition to the range of contraceptive pills as a replacement for Nordette requires a heightened level of marketing if it is to be accepted by consumers as a genuine substitute for Nordette which has now been discontinued by the manufacturer. Efforts are underway to introduce this relatively new product to the market place. The year in review was characterized by much change in the contraceptive market. The completion of ICON’s restructuring has resulted in renewed confidence in the IPPF’s capacity to maintain a consistent supply of good quality contraceptive products to Member Associations across the globe. This is expected to strengthen the capacity of the international family planning community to maintain the widest possible range of cost effective reproductive health products to the market place.

Capital Expenditure A total of $88,372 was spent on the purchase of an Anaesthetic machine, foetal monitor and operating theatre stools. $76,288 was utilized from designated funds and $12,065 from unrestricted general funds. Additional spending for the venture which included insurance and consumable supplies directly for the operation of the equipment was incurred during the recording period.

Staff Costs Cost for personnel and employee benefits decreased by 7.4% recording $972,362 down from $1,050,542 in the previous year 2009. This was due largely in part by the decision not to fill the vacant post of Social Worker. The post of Principal Nurse though vacant did not result in a major saving since an acting allowance was paid for the position and sessional fees were paid to registered and general nurses for the differential in nursing positions.

Unlike the income budget, the expenditure budget could not be adjusted downwards since it was already stretched to its maximum to ensure that those very essential and non negotiable expenses were met. For the third year in succession, salary and wage increases were again suspended, much to the disappointment of employees at all levels. The Barbados Workers’ Union, the staff bargaining body and staff must be commended for showing boundless patience, understanding and sacrifice in what can only be described as the most challenging financial times the Organization would have faced over the past quarter of a century.

majority Democratic Senate which constitute the ingredients for unreliable funding to the UNFPA, PPFA, IPPF globally and prospects of the re-emergence of the now infamous Mexico City Gag Rule gaining momentum. The reality for the BFPA could not be more dread especially given the substantial reduction in Government’s subvention to the Organization and the uncertainty which this engenders for the future. Improving the financial performance of the Association must be a major priority both now and in the foreseeable future. Efforts to date have been reasonably successful, however, the market place will continue to be most challenging for the following reasons:a)

Every conceivable effort was made to fulfill the strategy of cost containment. Areas of significant change were for unavoidable repairs and maintenance to the clinic entrance and the polishing and sanitizing of floors in clinical areas.

b) c)

The cost of electricity, water rates and a wide range of consumable clinic items were adversely affected by the imposition of the 2.5% increase in the VAT.

Outlook The protracted recession and the consequential uncertainty surrounding the seemingly evasive recovery of the local economy have exposed the very fragile nature of the BFPA’s revenue source. There is without doubt a limit to what financial management can achieve in the absence of financial resources sufficient to meet the realistic needs of the Organization. It is extremely difficult if not impossible to prepare the Annual Programme Budget (APB) or to attempt any meaningful forecasting, given the persistent weakening economic outlook in addition to the deteriorating broader financial markets, which have the capacity to undermine traditional international funding opportunities. An example of this can be seen in the potential international chain reaction beginning with the hostile attitude of the Republican controlled Congress and a seemingly weak

Government provides a wide range of Reproductive Health Services free at the point of delivery across the country. Most if not all private medical practitioners provide some aspects of Reproductive Health Service NGO’s in increasing numbers are either providing or seeking to provide a range of services similar to those offered by the BFPA.

The bottom line is that the market place is now one of fierce competition which could threaten the viability of the Organization if the right mix of initiatives is not identified and implemented effectively and with the utmost urgency. The acquisition of a new anaesthetic machine and the requisite attachments now make possible the reintroduction of surgical procedures under general anaesthesia (GA). This has made the operating theatre services more attractive to private sector surgeons who rent theatre facilities for day release procedures. The soon to be introduced general practice (GP) clinic is projected to attract a wider cross section of clients while deepening the revenue base of the Organization. As challenging as the present and immediate future appear to be, great are the opportunities available to the BFPA for growth, development and enhanced sustainability. Prerequisites to the achievement of these very positive objectives must be a new attitude and commitment to the mission and mandate of the Organization by all stake holders.

Leadership

Visionary leadership would have to be the springboard for any immediate or future revival of the Organizationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recovery.

The timidity and lack of courage which best describe the approach of some stake holders must be replaced with the

selflessness and dogged determination which was a central feature of the service rendered by past members and staff of this fifty-seven year old NGO. The time for meaningful change is now if that bright future which beacons through the darkness of the night is to see the light of that new dawn which awaits those of us with courage and commitment sufficient for the fulfillment of the many and varied opportunities ahead.

56th Annual Report 2010

Both the governed and those who govern must demonstrate a clear and unambiguous commitment to the Organization, its goals and objectives and must be in the vanguard of its advocacy initiatives. Their marketing efforts must be seen and heard as the face and voice of the BFPA nationally, regionally and internationally.

Financial Statements DECEMBER 31, 2010

56th Annual Report 2010

(EXPRESSED IN BARBADOS DOLLARS)

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT To the Members of The Barbados Family Planning Association

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of The Barbados Family Planning Association, which comprise the statement of financial position as of December 31, 2010, the statement of comprehensive income, expenses and changes in undesignated fund balance, statement of functional expenses and statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes. Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Auditors’ Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors’ judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditors consider internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of The Barbados Family Planning Association as of December 31, 2010, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards.

The Barbados Family Planning Association

Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2010 expressed in Barbados dollars

Organisational structure and principal activities

The Barbados Family Planning Association is a voluntary charity with the objective of promoting family planning services through its head office located at Bay Street, Bridgetown, Barbados.

Principal sources of revenue arise from the International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF) of which it is a member, subventions from the Barbados Government and from local fund raising activities.

In order to carry out its tasks, The Barbados Family Planning Association provides the following services to the population:

•

The provision of medical and clinical services, advice on family planning technology and maintenance of clinical service statistics.

The assessment of the conduct and effect of the programmes undertaken.

•

The formulation and development of information, education and training programmes including the application of audio visual and mass media materials.

•

The promotion of national and local fund raising campaigns.

Significant accounting policies

Basis of preparation The financial statements of the Association have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) under the historical cost convention.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Association’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements, are disclosed in Note 3.

Standards, interpretations and amendments to existing standards effective in the current year

There are no standards, interpretations and amendments to existing standards effective in the 2010 financial year which have a significant impact on the Association’s financial statements.

The Barbados Family Planning Association

Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2010 expressed in Barbados dollars Significant accounting policies …continued a)

Basis of preparation …continued Standards, interpretations and amendments to existing standards effective in 2010, but not considered to be relevant by management: • • • • • • • • • • • • •

IAS 1(Amendment), ‘Presentation of financial statements’. IAS 7 (Amendment), ‘Statement of cash flows’. IAS 17 (Amendment), ‘Leases’. IAS 18 (Amendment), ‘Revenue’. IAS 36 (Amendment), ‘Impairment of assets’. IAS 39 (Amendment), ‘Financial instruments - recognition and measurement’. IFRS 2 (Amendment), ‘Group cash-settled share-based payment transactions’. IFRS 5 (Amendment), ‘Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations’. IFRS 8 (Amendment), ‘Operating segments’. IFRIC 9, ‘Reassessment of embedded derivatives and IAS 39, Financial instruments: Recognition and measurement’. IFRIC 16, ‘Hedges of a net investment in a foreign operation’. IFRIC 17, ‘Distribution of non-cash assets to owners’. IFRIC 18, ‘Transfers of assets from customers’.

Standards, interpretations and amendments to existing standards that are not yet effective Management has reviewed the standards, interpretations and amendments to published standards that are not yet effective and concluded that none are relevant to the Association’s operations. b)

Revenue recognition The Association recognises unrestricted support grants as income in the period of receipt. Donor restricted grants for specific activities are deferred and recognised as income as the funds are expended. Other income from sales and fund raising activities are recognised on the completion of the performance of services and customers’ acceptance. Interest income is recognised on an accrual basis, using the effective interest method.

c) Inventories Inventories are reflected in the financial statements at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined using the first-in first-out basis.

The Barbados Family Planning Association

Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2010 expressed in Barbados dollars 2

Significant accounting policies …continued d)

Property, plant and equipment Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the item. Donated property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost and credited to the Fixed Assets Fund account. The balance on the Fixed Assets Fund is released to income at the same rate at which these fixed assets are depreciated.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the statement of comprehensive income during the financial period in which they are incurred.

Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method at rates considered adequate to write-off the cost of depreciable fixed assets over their useful lives.

The useful lives are: Furniture and equipment

- 3 - 10 years

Computer equipment

- 3 - 5 years

Medical equipment

- 5 years

Motor vehicles

- 5 years

The assets’ useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each date of the financial statements.

An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount. These are included in the statement of comprehensive income.

Foreign currency translation a) Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the financial statements are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company operates (‘the functional currency’). The financial statements are presented both in Barbados and United States dollars, which are the Association’s presentation currencies.

Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income.

The Barbados Family Planning Association

Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2010 expressed in Barbados dollars Significant accounting policies â&#x20AC;Ścontinued f) Gratuities Gratuities due to staff on the expiry of contracts with the Association are accrued over the term of the contracts. g) Provisions Provisions are recognised when the Association has a present legal or constructive obligation, as a result of past events, if it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate of the amount can be made. h)

Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include current accounts and cash in hand and interest bearing deposits with original maturities of three months or less.

Income taxes The Barbados Family Planning Association is a non-profit charitable organisation and is exempt from income taxes under Section 4 of the Income Tax Act.

j) Borrowings Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently stated at amortised cost and any difference between the net proceeds and the redemption value is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method. Borrowings due within twelve months of the balance sheet are classified as current liabilities. k) Receivables Receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at the anticipated realisable value. A provision for impairment of receivables is established when there is objective evidence that the Association will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of receivables. Significant financial difficulties of the debtor and default or delinquency in payments are considered indicators that the trade receivable is impaired. The amount of the provision is the difference between the carrying amount and the anticipated realisable value. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced through the use of the provision for impairment of receivables and the amount of loss is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income. When a receivable is uncollectible, it is written off against the provision for impairment of receivables and any subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against administration and general costs. l)

Accounts payable Accounts payable are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Critical accounting estimates and judgements in applying accounting policies Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. a)

Critical accounting estimates and assumptions There were no estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.

Critical judgements in applying the entity’s accounting policies There were no critical judgements in applying the Association’s accounting policies that would have a material effect on the financial statements.

Financial risk management a)

Financial risk factors The Associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks as follows:

Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk As the Association has no significant interest bearing assets other than the deposits, the Associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s income and operating cash flows are not significantly dependent on changes in market interest rates. The interest rates on the deposits at year end was 2.5% - 3.5% (2009 - 3% - 5%).

ii)

Liquidity risk Management monitors cash and cash equivalents on the basis of expected cash flow. Financial liabilities at the date of the statement of financial position based on the remaining period to maturity were as follows: Less than 1 year $
