At a Glance provides a pocket sized summary of the Annual Performance data and has been translated into 6 languages including: Arabic, Chinese, French, Japanese, Portuguese and Spanish.

This Annual Performance Report presents progress in implementing the Strategic Framework. In 2017, IPPF delivered 208.6 million sexual and reproductive health services and contributed to 146 policy and legal changes in support of sexual and reproductive health and rights.  Each section of the report presents an overview of the key performance results for our four outcome areas and is supplemented with case studies from countries across IPPF.

IPPF’s Strategic Framework (SF) 2016-2022 commits the organisation to lead a locally-owned globally connected movement that provides and enables services, and champions sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) for all. Increasing numbers of people face crises or live in chronically insecure settings. In recent years we have scaled up the number of sexual and reproductive health services and information provided to people in emergencies from 1.3m in 2013 to 3.2m in 2016, but we can do much more. The goal of this strategy is to improve access to life-saving SRHR for crisis-affected people in all their diversity. As the situation normalises after a crisis, we aim to leave behind stronger MAs sustaining quality services to diverse populations. IPPF’s model for SRHR in crisis connects the key elements of humanitarian action (prevention and preparedness, response, recovery and resilience) with long-term, equitable development. 

The overall group income of IPPF has risen by US$3.1 million (3%) to US$102.4 million (2016: US$99.2 million). Unrestricted total income rose by US$4.1 million and restricted income fell by US$1.0 million. IPPF’s main source of funding is government grants, which account for 82% (2016: 79%) of total income. In 2017 unrestricted government funding increased by US$1.4 million (2%) to US$67.4 million. The main reason for the increase was the increase in funding from the Scandinavian countries (Norway US$9.1 million, Sweden US$ 4.8 million and Denmark US$ 4.0 million) to assist in bridging the funding gap caused by the impact of the Global Gag Rule and the loss of UK government funding. Restricted government funding amounted to US$16.8 million, up from US$12.1 million in 2016. The Government of Australia continued to provide support (US$3.6 million) in relation to the global SPRINT Initiative to provide sexual and reproductive health services to crisis and post crisis areas in South East Asia, the Paci c, South Asia, and Africa and to help fund our Fiji office which supports Paci c MAs. USA provided US$6.7 million of funding for a number of programmes. The Government of Japan provided US$1.8 million for work on integration of SRHR and HIV and AIDS and humanitarian assistance for internally displaced people in Syria and refugees in Jordan and Lebanon.The Government of Germany US$0.2 million to improve access to promote sexual reproductive health services in Syria and to displaced persons in Sudan. The governments of the Netherlands, Norway and an anonymous donor also provided funding of US$3.7 million to the Safe Abortion Action Fund. Grants from multilateral donors and other sources decreased by 24% from US$20.6 million to US$15.8 million. A signifcant factor in the decrease was US$3.1 million from Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, US$2.7 million UN Programme on HIV/AIDS and US$0.4 million from the David and Lucile Packard Foundation as some current projects came to an end.

In February 2018, Tropical Cyclone Gita hit Tonga – the strongest storm in 60 years. Humanitarian disasters mean an increased risk of STI/HIV transmissions and gender-based violence. The consequences can be truly dire.  That's why in crises like this one, IPPF Humanitarian aims to provide sexual and reproductive healthcare through local partners.

Female genital mutilation (FGM) is a procedure that involves altering or injuring female genitalia for non-medical reasons.   It is estimated that almost 200 million women and girls worldwide have undergone some form of FGM. FGM has been recorded in 30 countries with Somaliland having one of the highest prevalence rates in the world at 98% for women and girls aged between 15 - 49 years old. Hope on the horizon documents the hard work IPPF member association SOFHA (Somaliland Family Health Association) is doing within the local community to help change minds and eventually bring an end to female genital mutilation (FGM). Slowly, but surely, attitudes are changing.

Everyone has a sexual orientation and a gender identity (SOGI), both of which may shift and change during the course of a lifetime. People across the world face discrimination, abuse and violence because of their gender expression, who they love, who they have sex with and how they look. 

Following the devastation wrecked by Tropical Cyclone Gita on the island of Kingdon of Tonga, the Tonga Family Health Association deployed an emergency response team. The team was able to bring vital sexual and reproductive health care to local communities. By taking services to the people, the team has been able to expand the types of care that many women would not readily access including pap smears and the opportunity to raise awareness around gender-based violence.   Combining service delivery, as well as information, is part of our tailored approach to humanitarian crises; ensuring we meet need, wherever it is, whoever requires it, for as long as they want it.  Photography © IPPF/Alana Holmberg
