The SRHR Donor Funding Atlas 2024 is a vital resource for understanding and advancing SRHR funding. Designed to empower stakeholders and policymakers to drive impactful change, the Atlas evaluates countries using 17 weighted criteria, shedding light on achievements, gaps, and opportunities in both bilateral and multilateral funding. The publication identifies key trends in the global humanitarian and development landscapes by focusing on official development assistance (ODA) and closely examining contributions to reproductive, maternal, newborn, and child health (RMNCH).
Key Findings
The SRHR Donor Funding Atlas 2024 highlights achievements and challenges in the global funding landscape for SRHR. It identifies Norway and Germany as standout performers, excelling across all criteria. These countries demonstrate a consistent and comprehensive approach to SRHR funding, reinforcing their reputations as global leaders in international development assistance. The European Union Institutions, comprising the European Commission and the European Parliament, also perform above average, showcasing Europe’s strong commitment to advancing SRHR policies and funding.
In the Northern American region, both Canada and the USA emerge as major contributors. The USA maintains its position as the largest bilateral and multilateral donor in absolute terms. Canada, meanwhile, allocates a greater share of its development assistance specifically to SRHR and RMNCH, highlighting its targeted commitment to these critical areas. However, neither country has yet committed to allocating 0.7% of GNI to Official Development Assistance (ODA), underscoring an area for potential growth in their global contributions.
In the Asia-Pacific region, Japan achieves the highest score, reflecting its effective funding strategies and initiatives. South Korea earns maximum points for its proportion of ODA directed towards SRHR, yet broader improvements are needed to bolster its overall funding performance. Despite some promising initiatives, Australia lags behind its regional counterparts, particularly in terms of total and per capita ODA.
