<p>Between 2013/14 – 2017/18 DFID’s average direct bilateral expenditure, under the
sector codes Reproductive Health care, Maternal and Neonatal health, and Training
of Personnel was nearly £218 million each year. This excludes direct bilateral expenditure
on family planning, which is reported separately. To note, this £218 million does
not cover DFID’s core contributions to multilateral organisations such as the United
Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) and the World Health Organisation (WHO) which also
provide reproductive health care services in developing countries.</p><p>Data for
all sector codes and spend are available on the Statistics for International Development
website, which can be found here: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/statistics-on-international-development-uk-gross-public-expenditure-gpex"
target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/statistics-on-international-development-uk-gross-public-expenditure-gpex</a>.</p><p>As
DFID takes an integrated approach to our programming on sexual and reproductive health
and rights, it is not possible to give a specific figure for our funding for safe
abortion.</p>
