The IPPF formula-based allocation model for unrestricted income has remained relatively unchanged since it was first introduced in 1997. Recently an evaluation was conducted by an independent Commission of experts supported by Federation stakeholders. Their recommendations included a new resource allocation model for unrestricted funding to be dispersed through three unique funding streams, one of which should include a transparent allocation formula. The proposals were considered and adopted by a united General Assembly in November 2019.
In December 2019, to prepare the Secretariat for implementation of the new model, the IPPF Director General convened a working group, known as the Resource Allocation Support Team. The team will manage two main deliverables:
- Develop a new formula for stream 1 of the model, as it relates to Member Associations and IPPF Secretariat allocation.
- Develop full guidelines for the different streams under the new Resource Allocation model
IPPF is soliciting tenders from expert consultants or firms to deliver on the following objective: Develop a new allocation formula for unrestricted (core) funding, including performance measures; and a process for Member Associations and the Secretariat to apply for this funding, based on their three-year plans. This new formula, performance measures and processes should consider the Member Associations and the Secretariat’s access to all other restricted or earned sources.
In developing the funding formula for Stream 1, the consultant or firm selected for this assignment will need to ensure a clear linkage of the new Resource Allocation formula with IPPF’s strategic framework, giving due weightage to the most marginalized and vulnerable communities; difference in the scale, complexity, and types of Member Associations; unmet needs and their measurement criteria, especially in the context of work undertaken by IPPF with a large adolescent population and other such criteria.
