Question to the Department for International Development:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, pursuant to the Answer of 9 October 2018 to Question 173969, whether she now has the breakdown of the proportion of her Department's funding for family planning in Kenya which will be allocated to abortion provision; and what estimate she has made of the number of abortion procedures funded by previous DFID programmes in that country.

The Delivering Sustainable and Equitable Increases in Family Planning in Kenya programme will support increased access to modern family planning services. Abortion services will be supported within the parameters set out in the Kenyan Constitution. The programme is still under procurement and therefore no further information on budget breakdowns is available at this time.

DFID takes an integrated approach to programming on sexual and reproductive health and rights - for example providing a woman with holistic care for gender-based violence, HIV, counselling, post-abortion care and information on family planning. As these services are integrated, we do not have disaggregated figures for previous programmes in Kenya solely relating to safe abortion procedures.
