This report provides an analysis of donor government funding to address family planning in low- and middle-income countries in 2023, which totaled US$1.47 billion, and was an increase of 7% (US$101 million) compared to the 2022 amount (US$1.37 billion); although, it was still below the peak level reached in 2019 (US$1.58 billion). The overall increase was due to increased bilateral funding from most donor governments; multilateral funding (contributions to UNFPA’s core resources) declined slightly.

These reports track funding levels of the donor governments that collectively provide the bulk of international assistance for family planning activities and is part of an effort by KFF that began after the London Summit on Family Planning in 2012. It presents their bilateral assistance to low- and middle-income countries as well as contributions to UNFPA.
