Donors Delivering for
SRHR 2021
Report Launch Event
Online Panel Discussion, September
16th, 14.30 - 16.00 CET
Background
Sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) are essential to human life and a
precondition to social and economic development. Cognisant of this, several donors across the
globe have made SRHR an integral part of their development strategies. In the aftermath of
the COVID-19 pandemic, life-saving financing to SRHR is more important than ever. Low- and
middle-income countries (LMICs) are facing significant budgetary shortfalls that hamper their
ability to properly advance SRHR for all, and deteriorate health and gender equality indicators,
contributing to mortality and morbidity worldwide.
According to recent estimates, the financing of an adequate package of care to meet all
wo e ’s SRH-related needs in LMICs would need to increase by 83% (equivalent to $31
billion) compared to the 2019 annual costs1
. In Africa alone, it would cost $22.50 per head per
year to meet the SRH service requirements of all women, in contrast to the current annual cost
of $6 per head2
. Although many donors have stepped up political commitment to SRHR and
gender equality, funding trends have been mixed i rece t ears, ith so e do ors
i est e ts sta i g stead , hile others decreasi g or i creasi g.
The Donors Delivering for SRHR (DDSRHR) report is an accountability tool tracking donors
disbursements to Reproductive, Maternal, Newborn, and Child Health (RMNCH), Family
Planning (FP) and SRHR.
This latest edition presents data from 2019, setting up a pre-pa de i aseli e for do ors’
support to SRHR. Based on these findings, the launch event of the report will discuss why and
how donors need to step up their game in the future.
