A brand new KFF evaluation finds donor authorities funding for household planning efforts in low- and middle-income international locations totaled US$1.35 billion in 2022, a decline of 9% (US$129 million) in comparison with 2021 ($1.48 billion). This determine marks the bottom stage of funding since 2016 ($1.31 billion). Whereas a number of the decline was due to decreases in precise funding by most donor governments, greater than two-thirds may be attributed to trade charge fluctuations as a result of strengthening of the U.S. greenback in opposition to most currencies throughout 2022. Funding from america wasn’t affected by the foreign money fluctuations.
Funding from six donor governments (Australia, Canada, Denmark, Germany, Sweden, and the U.Okay.) decreased in 2022, although the scale of the decreases was considerably smaller when accounting for trade charge fluctuations. A few of these declines have been linked to budgetary pressures related to the humanitarian response to the battle in Ukraine, as cited by some donors. Whereas funding from america remained flat, funding from the Netherlands and Norway elevated.
With out standardizing funding ranges to the scale of donor economies, america remained the most important donor to household planning funding, offering 43% ($582.9 million) of complete funding from donor governments, adopted by the Netherlands ($217.4 million, 16%), the UK. ($174.7 million, 13%), Sweden ($121.3 million, 9%) and Canada ($88.3 million, 7%). Nonetheless, when household planning funding is standardized by GDP, the Netherlands ranked first, adopted by Sweden and the UK; america ranked seventh.
Most household planning funding is supplied bilaterally (US$1.3 billion or 96%). The remaining 4% ($50 million) is for multilateral contributions to the United Nations Inhabitants Fund’s core assets, adjusted for an estimated share for household planning.
The outcomes of this evaluation might be included within the annual progress report from FP2030, Measurement Report 2024. Â
