FCDO’s approach to sexual and reproductive health

Inquiry

The International Development Committee report into the FCDO's approach to sexual and reproductive health has now been published and found that since 2020 the UK has slashed aid spending on sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR), with a devastating impact on women and girls. Existing project budgets were cut or cancelled entirely, often with little to no notice. FCDO funding to multilateral organisations working on sexual and reproductive health was cut, with the deepest impact on the most marginalised, particularly women and girls and people with disabilities. This damaged both relationships with aid partners and recipients and the UK's reputation as a credible and serious partner in advancing SRHR globally.
