A new KFF analysis finds donor government funding for family planning efforts in low- and middle-income countries totaled US$1.35 billion in 2022, a decline of 9% (US$129 million) compared to 2021 ($1.48 billion). This figure marks the lowest level of funding since 2016 ($1.31 billion).

This analysis examines the share of inpatient hospital days that are covered by Medicaid nationally and by state at a time when Congress is considering potential cuts to the program. It finds that Medicaid covered at least one in five inpatient hospital days in 48 states and the District of Columbia in 2023.
As states completed the “unwinding” of pandemic-era continuous coverage, Medicaid enrollment fell 7.6% in FY 2025 and is expected to be largely flat in FY 2026. At the same time, total Medicaid spending grew by 8.6% in FY 2025 and is expected to grow by 7.9% in FY 2026.
This report provides an analysis of donor government funding to address family planning in low- and middle-income countries in 2023, which totaled US$1.47 billion, and was an increase of 7% (US$101 million) compared to the 2022 amount (US$1.37 billion); although, it was still below the peak level reached in 2019 (US$1.58 billion). The overall increase was due to increased bilateral funding from most donor governments; multilateral funding (contributions to UNFPA’s core resources) declined slightly.
