Fòs Feminista

For A Project To Assess Budget Transparency For Sexual And Reproductive Health And Rights

Overview
The International Planned Parenthood Federation/Western Hemisphere Region (IPPF/WHR) and its Member Associations have built a network of trusted institutions that provide high quality services to millions of people across Latin America and the Caribbean, with particular emphasis on poor and underserved populations. Funds will enable IPPF/WHR to advance government accountability for budget dedicate to achieving MDG 5b* in Latin America within the following five countries Peru, Brazil, Costa Rica, Mexico, and the Dominican Republic. This will be accomplished by advocating for more transparent public budgets and overall accountability to ensure that governments meet their development commitments related to sexual and reproductive health. *Footnote: MDG5b refers to a target of Millennium Development Goal (MDG) 5, which is to improve maternal health. MDG5b sets a target of achieving universal access to reproductive health by 2015; this target will not be met in any of the above countries by 2015, even given the critical importance of reproductive health in development.
