Question to the Department for International Development:

Her Majesty's Government whether they intend to re-establish funding for (1) the International Planned Parenthood Federation, and (2) Marie Stopes International; and if so, when.

DFID highly values our partnership with civil society. We have just launched a call for proposals for Promoting Sexual and Reproductive Health Rights (SRHR) through DFID’s new UK Aid Connect funding mechanism. We strongly encourage all organisations with a track record in SRHR to apply. In addition, MSI and IPPF regularly bid for and deliver DFID programmes on sexual health and reproductive rights.
