Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what assistance they provide to developing countries for family planning services.

The UK is a global leader on family planning and sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR). The UK is a founding member of the FP2020 partnership, established at the 2012 London Summit on Family Planning to support governments in developing countries to make and deliver on commitments to family planning. We accelerated progress towards these goals at the 2017 London Family Planning Summit and we are now working closely with the global community to shape the post-2020 family planning partnership.

The UK is the second largest bilateral donor to family planning; this assistance is delivered through a range of programmes, including our flagship SRHR programme 'WISH' and as the largest donor to UNFPA Supplies. In 2017/18 alone, the UK spent £241.5 million of UK aid on family planning, reaching 30.9m total users of contraception, preventing 10.7 million unintended pregnancies. .
