4 Ensuring access to life-saving contraceptives for those in most need

5 Family Planning: the challenge Every 2 minutes, a woman dies while giving birth or dies from pregnancy-related complications. More than half a million babies die each year from complications at birth. Yet million women in developing countries who want to avoid pregnancy are not using an effective contraceptive method. Rates of contraceptive use have stalled, at less than 20% of women in most of Sub-Saharan Africa. In the developing world, 74 million women each year have an unintended pregnancy 5

20 Why do we invest in Family Planning? Countries will not lift themselves out of poverty until women are able to decide for themselves whether and when they have children, and how many. Voluntary family planning enables women and girls to complete their education and take up better economic opportunities: it transforms lives, creating more prosperous, stable societies. But with adolescent girls in developing countries each year experiencing over 6 million unintended pregnancies, of which 2.5 million end in unsafe abortions more progress is needed globally. Voluntary family planning is a best buy because of its impact on a country s development pathway: the second most cost effective of all development interventions. Slide 20

21 What we support We support ensuring a choice of products is available, through a range of services that meet different needs. This is done through building a functioning market for contraceptives with full coverage, offering choice to consumers and ensuring the systems will be able to continue to provide what women need for the long term. IPPF Slide 21

22 The story so far The 2012 London Summit on Family Planning, hosted by DFID and the BMGF, kick-started an international movement to increase investments in voluntary family planning. Since then, the FP2020 movement established at the Summit has driven considerable progress. By 2016, an unprecedented 300 million women in the world s poorest countries were using voluntary modern contraception. Clear progress has been made, but more needs to be done if we are to reach our global ambition of reaching an additional 120 million women and girls by The UK is the second largest investor in global family planning and UK investments alone have resulted in nearly 7 million more women using safe, modern contraception. We support over 18 country programmes, regional programmes, NGOs, UNFPA Supplies, the FP2020 secretariat and the Reproductive Health Supplies Coalition. Together with BMGF and UNFPA, we will host another summit on FP in London this summer to push the international community to take further action to tackle long running problems with contraceptive supply chains, to reach the most marginalised young women, and to meet the needs of women and girls living through humanitarian crises such as conflict or natural disasters. Slide 22

23 UK Support to UNFPA Supplies Two phases of support Phase 1 in 12 countries; Phase 2 in 46 countries ( 356m from ) The 46 countries are lower or lower middle income and include those with both high mortality and high unmet need, but few sources of external support. Nearly half of these countries face conflict, post conflict or other humanitarian crisis. The programme buys almost 1/3 rd of contraceptives for the 46 countries and there is a large humanitarian component, providing emergency reproductive health kits. Improving method choice is critical no commodities, no service More work ongoing on improving supply chains in country leading to better delivery to the Last Mile to women and girls. Almost half of the 46 countries have 85% of primary facilities offering at least 3 methods in 2013 and increasing to five modern methods in m women reached in humanitarian settings Slide 23
