3 Euromapping 218 Euromapping is an annual publication that analyses the latest updated data available (216), tracking Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Development Assistance Committee (DAC) donors contributions to reproductive, maternal, newborn, child health () & family planning (), as part of their official development aid (). It thus highlights and ranks global efforts for sustainable development, and constitutes a transparency and accountability tool on donors development assistance in these crucial areas. Euromapping 218 looks at 3 OECD DAC donors data, including: Donors yearly commitments to, & Donors yearly disbursements to, & Four-year performance on commitments to & as a share of Four-year performance on disbursement to & as a share of Euromapping

4 About us About DSW About EPF Deutsche Stiftung Weltbevölkerung (DSW) is a global development organisation that focuses on the needs and potential of the largest youth generation in history. We are committed to creating demand for and access to health information, services and supplies, and to securing their right for a brighter future. We achieve this by engaging in advocacy, capacity development, and family planning initiatives, which make sure the youth of today are empowered to lead healthy and self-determined lives. With our headquarters in Hannover, Germany, DSW operates two liaison offices in Berlin and Brussels, as well as maintaining a strong presence in Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda. For more information please visit Bringing together Parliamentarians committed to protecting the sexual and reproductive health and rights of the world s most vulnerable. The European Parliamentary Forum on Population and Development (EPF) is a network of members of parliaments from across Europe who are committed to protecting the sexual and reproductive health of the world s most vulnerable people, both at home and overseas. We believe that women should always have the right to decide upon the number of children they wish to have, and should never be denied the education or other means to achieve this that they are entitled to by law. We believe that it makes sense personally, economically and environmentally for governments to devote development aid to initiatives protecting people s sexual and reproductive health and rights. EPF began as a project of the International Planned Parenthood Federation European Network (IPPFEN). It was legally registered in Belgium and recognised by Royal Decree in 2. In 24, EPF became a fully independent not-for-profit organisation. For more information please visit Euromapping

5 Executive Summary Main Findings On, And Commitments And Disbursements 1 In 216, five donors (the US, the UK, The Netherlands, Germany and the EU Institutions) accounted for over 75% of all reproductive, maternal, new-born and child health () and over 8% of family planning () commitments and disbursements. 2 The US is the leading global donor of official development assistance (), and. In 216, as in previous years, US commitments and disbursements in these areas were by far the largest among the 3 OECD Development Assistance Committee (DAC) donors. However, for the first time, the US has already lost their leading position on funding to and commitments as a percentage of. With the decision to re-enact and expand the Mexico City Policy ( Global Gag Rule ) and withdraw funding from the United Nations Population Fund (UNA), funding from the US to organisations not signing the Global Gag Rule and UNA will halt with consequent impact on reaching vulnerable population groups with //HIV services. To mitigate this, other donors will need to prioritise funding for and. 3 There are five donors (the UK, the EU Institutions, Germany, Japan and France) that rank highly in, and commitments and disbursements, but significantly lower when those amounts are assessed as a percentage of their. More effort is possible and needed for these donors to increase their share of and contributions as a percentage of and take on their fair share of the financial burden. 4 In 216, the EU (the EU Institutions & Member States) represented more than half of overall : 57% of commitments, and 6% of total DAC disbursements. However, the EU (EU Institutions & Member States) is a much smaller actor in only accounting for 3% of all donors and commitments, and less than of disbursements. 5 The EU Institutions and The Netherlands were responsible for the highest increase of commitments to both and compared to 215. In 216, The Netherlands are behind only the US in commitments to funding and first in relative terms. Canada also shows a strong positive trend in terms of commitments, while funding to and from Greece and Hungary experienced the biggest decrease, despite an increase in their spending. While Norway increased its commitments to (+27), its disbursements decreased (-7%). 6 There are 11 donors (Austria, Switzerland, Portugal, Italy, Spain, Slovak Republic, Czech Republic, Slovenia, Poland, Hungary, Greece), whose commitments represent less than of their overall commitments. With the exception of Switzerland (3%), those donors showcased the same trend in their disbursements. 7 Five donors (the US, The Netherlands, Sweden, the UK and Canada) score in the top-1 in almost all rankings, having committed and disbursed large amounts for and. The large proportion of and as a share of reflects the priority that the donors give to those issues in their development cooperation policy. 8 Luxembourg and Ireland have smaller economies relative to the other donors reviewed, and consequently smaller total, and commitments and disbursements. However, these countries spend a high proportion of their on (8.3% and 7.5% respectively) and (2.7% and.5% respectively), reflecting the importance of these issues in their development cooperation policies, and scoring high in the respective rankings.

6 Total commitments by DAC donors have increased by 6.3% in 216 (to 184,442 billion United States Dollars - USD), compared to 215 (173,531 billion USD). Gross disbursements have increased by 11. in 216 (to 176,592 billion USD) compared to 215 (158,83 USD). In 216, Germany joined five other countries Denmark, Luxembourg, Norway, Sweden and the UK in meeting the longpledged commitment to allocate.7% of Gross National Income (GNI) to. The Netherlands slipped below.7% to join 22 other donors under the threshold. Spending On Refugees As Part Of Increased In 216, the amount of allocated to cover refugee costs in donor countries rose to unprecedented levels, from just 6 in 214 and 12 in 215 to 16 billion USD. This represents almost 8.6% of spent in 216 and 15.3% if one only considers EU DAC donors (Member States and institutions). If in-donor refugee costs are excluded, the overall increase in commitments between 215 and 216 falls from 9.6% to 4.5%. While only three countries (Australia, Korea, and Luxembourg) and the EU Institutions do not count in-donor refugee costs as, another thirteen countries spent more than a tenth of their commitments for this purpose; Greece spent 39.8% of its total commitments on this, followed by Austria (34.), Italy (33%), Iceland (26.7%), Switzerland (26.1%), Germany (23%), Denmark (18.), Sweden (17.), Belgium (17.), Norway (16.8%), Finland (14.), The Netherlands (11.) and Slovenia (1.1%).

7 Commitments The total volume of commitments from the 3 DAC donors for 216 was 12 billion USD, increased by 12. compared to 215. The US was by far the biggest donor in terms of commitments to, totalling 6.28 billion USD, having committed as much as all the other donors combined. The US commitments are over six times the UK s commitments, which was the second largest contributor of to in 216, and well above the combined commitments to of the 2 EU DAC donors (Member States and Institutions), which together committed 4 billion USD that year. When commitments are assessed as a share of, Norway tops the ranking, with over 17.6%, slightly ahead of the US with 17.3% and The Netherlands with 13. of their dedicated to. Moreover, some of the largest donors, like the EU Institutions, Germany and Japan which score 5 th, 6 th and 8 th respectively in absolute numbers fall to the bottom half of the ranking 16 th, 18 th, and 19 th respectively. NB: Disbursements for one given year can not always be linked with the commitments made during that year; considerable discrepancies for a few countries occur - see annex on methodology. For this reason, this report presents both data sets, although showing similar trends this year.

8 Disbursements The total volume of disbursements from the 3 DAC donors for 216 was 12 billion USD. Once again, the US was by far the leading donor in, amounting to nearly half (6 billion USD) of the total disbursements for. This is more than three times the UK s disbursements (2 billion USD), which was the second largest donor, and well over the combined disbursements to of the 2 EU DAC donors (Member States and Institutions), which together spent a total of 4 billion USD in 216. While the absolute figures of to from donors like Germany, the EU Institutions, Japan and France are among the top, when compared to their figures, the picture changes dramatically; they move to the lower half of the ranking, 2 th, 17 th, 19 th, and 15 th respectively. On the contrary, the US, the UK, Canada, The Netherlands, Norway, as well as smaller donors such as Luxembourg, have the largest shares of their dedicated to.

9 Commitments In 216, the US ranked first for total commitments (2 billion USD), increasing by 1% compared to 215 and ranked second place for commitments to as part of its, right behind The Netherlands. Two other donors emerge as champions when we take into account their commitments as part of their : Luxembourg and Sweden. Several donors more than doubled their commitments to compared to the previous year: Belgium, Luxembourg, The Netherlands, Spain, Sweden and the EU Institutions. However, donors with large and volumes of commitments, such as Japan, Germany, France, and the EU Institutions, score significantly lower when their volumes of commitments are assessed relative to their. NB: Disbursements for one given year can not always be linked with the commitments made during that year; considerable discrepancies for a few countries occur - see annex on methodology.

10 Disbursements In 216, the disbursements to have decreased by 5% compared to 215. The US and the UK had the largest disbursements, well ahead of the other 28 donors. However, Luxembourg doubled its disbursements compared to 215 and is now the leading donor relative to (2.7%). Canada, Norway, New Zealand, Korea, Ireland and Finland also score significantly high in share of. Spain also doubled its disbursements to compared to the previous year but stays at the bottom of the ranking for as share of.

11 Europe s Share In,, Commitments And Gross Disbursements In 216, EU DAC donors (Member- States and Institutions) represent more than half (57%) of the DAC donors commitments. If we add Norway, Switzerland, and Iceland, then the region s share surpasses 6%, while the US follows with 19.6%. The picture is radically different when we look at and commitments, where the US represents 5. and 6.6% of the total and commitments respectively. Compared to 215, in 216 the EU DAC donors slightly increased their commitments to and, representing 31.8% of commitments and 29.8% of commitments. The decision that the US administration has taken towards and sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) is expected to significantly change these conclusions in upcoming years, be it in terms of global contributions to these sectors or respective shares.
