<p>DFID takes an integrated approach to our programming on sexual and reproductive
health and rights. The UK Government is delivering on the Sustainable Development
Goals, reflecting them in its programme of work and integrating them into the Single
Departmental Plan process. DFID reports annually on its progress on planned activities
in meeting these objectives in its annual report and online results pages. For example
between April 2018 and March 2019 alone, at least 23.5 million total women and girls
were reached with modern methods of family planning through our programmes, preventing
7.3 million unintended pregnancies, 2 million unsafe abortions, saving 8,300 women’s
lives and preventing the trauma of 89,900 stillbirths and 52,900 new-born deaths.
DFID also ensures our water and sanitation programmes address the rights of women
and girls to access safe, private, hygienic and convenient sanitation facilities,
including in humanitarian responses.</p><p> </p><p>DFID’s project-specific information
(including all the annual reviews for our projects in these areas) is available on
the Development Tracker website.</p>
