At the International Conference on Family Planning<\/a> in Bogot\u00e1, experts warned that recent aid reductions could reverse a decade of progress in reproductive health. According to Family Planning 2030<\/a> (FP2030), modern contraceptive use has prevented 148 million unintended pregnancies and 128,000 maternal deaths in 2024 alone. However, funding shortfalls \u2014 following the United States\u2019 withdrawal, which once covered 41% of global family planning budgets \u2014 now threaten these gains.<\/p>\n

FP2030 Executive Director Samukeliso Dube cautioned that more than 80% of government funding for family planning comes from countries announcing major aid cuts, including the Netherlands, Britain, Germany, and Sweden. The U.S.-based Guttmacher Institute<\/a> estimated that $104 billion<\/strong> is needed annually to meet reproductive health needs in low- and middle-income countries \u2014 nearly double current funding levels.<\/p>\n

Experts like Dr Anu Kumar of Ipas urged nations to build resilient, locally funded health systems, noting the vulnerability of donor-dependent care. The conference brought together over 800 organisations from 120 countries<\/strong> to explore new financing models and sustainable strategies. As Dr Phil Angewicz of the Gates Institute noted, \u201cThis is not business as usual \u2014 it\u2019s time to rethink how we rebuild global health.\u201d<\/p>\n
