Grants to this Grantee
for improving government accountability for family planning services and supplies in Africa
Population Action International (PAI) works to ensure universal access to quality reproductive health care, including family planning, around the world. This grant will support PAI’s work with civil society organizations in East and West Africa to develop and test approaches for tracking national budgets and spending in family planning in six countries. PAI and its local partners will use this information in national and regional advocacy efforts to strengthen accountability of national governments for commitments they have made to improve the provision of these services. PAI and its partners will also use these experiences to demonstrate the benefits of making sector budgets and spending more transparent to citizens.
