Donor Government Assistance for Family Planning in 2014
Executive Summary
Since 2002, the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) and the Kaiser Family Foundation have been tracking donor government assistance for HIV in low- and middle-income countries by the donor government members of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development’s (OECD) Development Assistance Committee (DAC). For the methodological approach used to monitor donor government spending on HIV see: https://www.kff.org/global-health-policy/report/financing-the-response-to-aids-in-low/.
Includes funding from 28 DAC member countries and the European Commission (EC).
Australia's FP funding is for the 2013-14 fiscal year. Final 2014-15 data is not yet available. Level funding is assumed.
- While Germany’s family planning funding has declined, its support for broader reproductive health activities increased between 2012-2014 to a total of €79 million.
- The European Commission, Japan, and Korea also made commitments during the London Summit. For this analysis, family planning funding from these donor governments is based on family planning funding amounts reported to the OECD DAC and these donors are included as part of “Other DAC Countries”.
- In 2014, Finland provided the third largest core contribution ($60.4 million) to UNFPA, followed by the Netherlands.

- A disbursement is the actual release of funds to, or the purchase of goods or services for, a recipient. An enactment represents a budgetary decision that funding will be provided, regardless of the time at which an actual outlays, or disbursement, occurs. Therefore, disbursements in any given year may include funds committed (enacted) in prior years and in some cases, not all funds committed (enacted) during a government fiscal year are disbursed in that year. While most donor governments examined disburse enacted amounts within the same year, the U.S. government does not and may disburse enactments over multiple years. For instance, in FY 2013, U.S. bilateral enacted funding for family planning activities totaled $615.1 million, while disbursements totaled $585 million.
- In 2014, Finland provided the third largest core contribution ($60.4 million) to UNFPA, followed by the Netherlands.
