Tuesday 22nd April
2 Sessions:
9am-10.30am CEST OR 4pm-5.30pm CEST
The impact of the Trump Administration’s extreme cuts to US foreign assistance is catastrophic for the people who need sexual and reproductive care around the world. It is eroding reproductive rights, justice and access to services for the most vulnerable populations. The devastating cuts to lifesaving care are felt even more acutely in countries with high rates of maternal mortality, and those affected by conflict and humanitarian crises.
In February 2025, IPPF launched a survey to hear from its Member Associations (MAs) and Collaborative Partners (CPs) about the impact of the actions of the Trump Administration. We asked them about programmes cancelled both from direct US sourced funds and indirectly through other impacted sources as well as the effect this would have on their staff, service delivery points, clients served, and SRH commodities. IPPF will do a follow-up survey in mid-2025 to re-assess the impact, given that the situation is changing rapidly.
This webinar will present the survey findings, provide an opportunity for MAs to share insights from their local contexts, and facilitate a discussion on the way forward.
