ABSTRACT

The range and scale of the international funds available to the family planning movement and the purposes to which

they are put are explained in this report as part of a survey of unmet needs in family planning. In 1965, the IPPF

received a large donation from the Swedish government which started a new era of government and private foundation

money for international assistance in population control. 61% of the $124 million available for family planning in

1971 was spent on family planning field activities. 24% of it was used for biomedical research and demographic

studies, mostly in developing countries. Most of the money given to these developing countries was given to a few

large national programs. Little money was allocated to the assessment of the requirements for an adequate global

family planning program. (PubHealth.info Document ID: CONT8T 54-06)
