The SRHR Funding Situational Analysis 2025-26

The landscape for Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) funding is navigating a period of profound uncertainty as it approaches 2025 and 2026, with East and Southern Africa (ESA) positioned at a particularly vulnerable juncture. This report
provides a situational analysis of SRHR funding, grounded in the emerging realities of 2025 and building upon the historical context up to 2023. It examines how a confluence of various dynamics in the development landscape, including a contracting global Official Development Assistance (ODA) environment, escalating humanitarian needs driven by economic instability, climate change, and conflict, alongside the intensified efforts of anti-rights movements—is shaping the availability and effectiveness of SRHR resources.
