Continue support and restore discretionary funding for key multilateral SRHR organisations to pre-pandemic levels
Recommendation
Multilateral organisations are sometimes best placed to act and implement aid programming on sexual and reproductive health. The UK has historically been a key donor to multilateral organisations working on sexual and reproductive health. Evidence to the Committee has shown the benefits of both bilateral and multilateral funding. The FCDO should continue to support key multilateral organisations such as the UNFPA, the Global Fund, Unitaid and UNAIDS that are uniquely placed to work with national governments, and with civil society and communities, on aspects of SRHR. As a minimum, it should meet its prior commitments to these organisations. It should also restore discretionary funding to at least the same levels as before the covid-19 pandemic. (Paragraph 18) Family planning
Government response summary AI-generated
The FCDO partially agrees, acknowledging the importance of multilateral organisations and outlining its current support. However, it states it cannot commit to a set level of financial contribution or restore discretionary funding to pre-pandemic levels, preferring to assess funding based on impact and value for money.
