In 1972 the Association changed its name to Chama Cha Uzazi na Malezi Bora Tanzania (UMATI).The Association has a long history of leadership in SRH programmes in the country, including pioneering in family planning (FP) services, Family Life Education for youths, and providing integrated clinic and Community based service delivery approaches. UMATI is a member of the International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF) and is governed by a well- established volunteer structure from the national to grassroots level. Since its inception, the Association has been responding to various national and international challenges for its growth.
