This report provides an analysis of donor government funding to address family planning in low- and middle-income countries in 2022, which totaled US$1.35 billion and was a decline of 9% (US$129 million) compared to the 2021 amount (US$1.48 billion). While the decline was due to decreases in funding by most donor governments, a significant share can be attributed to exchange rate fluctuations resulting from the rise in value of the U.S. dollar against most currencies during 2022.
