EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 2024
Tracking OECD Donor Funding for Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights
TRACKING OECD DAC DONOR SUPPORT TO SRHR AS PART OF THEIR ODA
The Donors Delivering for SRHR Report is an annual publication about the state of global funding for SRHR, RMNCH, and FP. It tracks the total funding support and the share of ODA that OECD DAC donors dedicate to these areas. The findings of the current report are based on 2022 ODA disbursement data from 32 OECD DAC donor countries.
OVERALL SRHR SUPPORT INCREASED FROM 2020 TO 2022
After a minor increase from 2020 to 2021, donors’ total SRHR funding increased substantially in 2022. However, SRHR funding as a percentage of total ODA decreased gradually between 2020 and 2022. This is because overall ODA amounts among donor countries rose in 2022, while absolute disbursements for SRHR did not see the same growth.
MORE THAN 1/2 OF OECD DAC DONORS INCREASED SRHR DISBURSEMENTS

Room for improvement:
It is clear that many donors could do more. Almost half of the OECD DAC donors spend less than 2% of their ODA on SRHR, in many cases despite progressive and supportive policies and commitments on SRHR. Similar to previous years, this has especially been the case for larger donors, such as Italy (1.28%), Germany (1.68%), France (2.75%) and the EU institutions (1.56%).
A number of countries truly champion SRHR in their international collaboration: the US was the largest SRHR donor by far (both in absolute and relative terms), with over 16% of its ODA spent on SRHR. This was the result of its strong support towards STD control including the fight against HIV & Aids. Other SRHR champions include the Netherlands, Canada, Luxembourg, Sweden, the United Kingdom and Iceland, who allocated over 4% of their ODA to SRHR.

Many donors fail to prioritise SRHR in their ODA in 2021. 15/32 donors spent < 2% of their ODA on SRHR.
Only 2 out of 32 donors spent >5 % of their ODA on SRHR.
