This grant contributes to the Guttmacher Institute’s large-scale, multicountry study assessing the policy impact of the Mexico City Policy, or Global Gag Rule, on sexual and reproductive health funding, services, and outcomes in Ethiopia, Ghana, and Uganda. The study will track changes in the funding available for services in these countries and the multiple pathways through which these changes may affect service delivery and individual-level outcomes. Research findings will be useful for advocacy.
