National Action for Financing: Post-2015 advocacy entry points and opportunities
In 2015, substantial changes are proposed to the present development financing architecture. This presents both threats and opportunities for the
availability of funding for reproductive health (RH) supplies and sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) at the global, regional, national
and subnational level.
With support from the Reproductive Health Supplies Coalition (RHSC) Innovation Fund, IPPF is implementing the National Action for Financing (NAF)
project to work with stakeholders to position funding for RH supplies as a critical element in the new development financing architecture. This
publication provides a calendar of main financing events upcoming in 2015 to enable stakeholders to understand the advocacy entry points and
opportunities to help influence decision-making, increase funding and improve access to RH supplies and SRHR. Enclosed is a list of upcoming
financing events, and suggested actions for advocates to call for the inclusion of RH supplies and SRHR. A small table of past events in 2015 is
included for reference and background. It is important to note this document’s criteria for ranking events: Number and level of participants;
importance of outcome documents/ declarations as potential reference documents for the international development community.
Within the list of upcoming events, IPPF would like to draw specific attention to three particular events upcoming included in this document, with
suggested actions:
October 18-21, Mexico city: Global Maternal Newborn Health Conference -
Suggest advocates approach listed local stakeholders (see table) working on health/ RH in Mexico to (jointly) advocate for increased
domestic and international funding for RH supplies, in the context of this conference.
Approach Dr. Mickey Chopra (speaker – [email protected] ), Chief of Health at UNICEF and member of GFF working group, to discuss
opportunities for RHS under the GFF.

supplies advocacy:
12. Delivering social protection and essential public services for
all. To end poverty in all its forms everywhere and finish the unfinished
business of the Millennium Development Goals, we commit to a new social
compact. In this effort, we will provide fiscally sustainable and nationally
appropriate social protection systems and measures for all, including
floors, with a focus on those furthest below the poverty line and the
vulnerable, persons with disabilities, indigenous persons, children, youth
and older persons. We also encourage countries to consider setting
nationally appropriate spending targets for quality investments in
essential public services for all, including health, education, energy, water
and sanitation, consistent with national sustainable development
strategies. We will make every effort to meet the needs of all
communities through delivering high-quality services that make effective
use of resources. We commit to strong international support for these
efforts, and will explore coherent funding modalities to mobilize additional
resources, building on country-led experiences
41. We are committed to women’s and girls’ equal rights and
opportunities in political and economic decision-making and
resource allocation and to removing any barriers that prevent

women from being full participants in the economy. We resolve to
undertake legislation and administrative reforms to give women equal
rights with men to economic resources, including access to ownership and
control over land and other forms of property, credit, inheritance, natural
resources and appropriate new technology. We further encourage the
private sector to contribute to advancing gender equality through striving
to ensure women’s full and productive employment and decent work,
equal pay for equal work or work of equal value, and equal opportunities,
as well as protecting them against discrimination and abuse in the
workplace. We support the Women’s Empowerment Principles established
by UN-Women and the Global Compact and encourage increased
investments in female-owned companies or businesses.
