Lack of understanding of estimates currently in circulation can lead to fragmented advocacy and weak financial prioritization of reproductive health.
Population Action International has released a report, Funding Common Ground: Cost Estimates for International Reproductive Health to help advocates and policymakers better understand the funding needed to achieve the ICPD and MDG goal of universal access to reproductive health.
A clear sense of financial requirements is essential to carry out policy advocacy and plan to fulfill unmet needs.
