IPPF Core support 2020 IPPF Kärnstöd 2020-23 Sida och IPPF har samarbetat under flera decennier varför vi känner organisationen väl, och ser organisationen som en central aktör inom SRHR området som alltid genererat goda resultat. Det senaste stödet som Sida gav till IPPF avslutades i december 2019.  

Den planerade insatsen är ett stöd till IPPF och deras strategiska plan i form av ett kärnstöd för åren 2020-2022. 

IPPF etablerades 1952 i Indien, och är en global aktör inom SRHR med fokus på de allra mest utsatta. IPPF är en federation bestående av 132 nationella medlemsorganisationer som arbetar i 43 länder, som tillsammans med 28 samarbetsorganisationer totalt finns aktiva i 164 länder, inklusive i Sverige genom RFSU. Denna internationella närvaro ger federationen en styrka och ett genomslag som inte finns motsvarighet till inom civilsamhället. 

Mål och resultat:

-  Ökad tillgång och möjligheter till SRHR-service, information och utbildning;
-  Stärkta hälsosystem;
-  Påtryckningsarbete för att förändra SRHR-policys och lagar.

IPPF är en av de organisationer som inte bara talar om att ungdomars inflytande är viktigt utan man har krav på att styrelser och övrig representation på alla nivåer ska ha ungdomar i beslutsfattande ställning. Man har även en klar och tydlig policy vad gäller jämställdhet där det måste vara minst 50% av kvinnor på alla nivåer och forum. IPPF arbetar med de mest utsatta länderna och människor, och mer än 80% av medlen som tillkommer IPPF vidareföremedlas till IPPF´s medlemsorganisationer runt om i världen.

Den strategiska planen har som mål att nå följande mål och outputs:

Mål 1)  100 regeringar ska respektera, skydda samt säkerställa att sexuella och reproduktiva rättigheter och jämlikhet är prioriterat i dessa länder år 2022
Output:  Ökad kapacitet hos medlemsorganisationerna att aktivt driva och föra fram budskap om SRHR.

Mål 2)  1 Miljard människor ska år 2022 fritt kunna agera utan represallier vad gäller deras sexuella och reproduktiva rättigheter.
Output: Ökad medvetenhet om SRHR-frågor, ökad acceptans av och efterfrågan av SRHR-service, särskilt bland ungdomar och kvinnor. 

Mål 3)  IPPF och deras partners ska år 2022 ha levererat minst 2 miljarder service av SRHR som är både kvalitativ och integrerad i hälsosystemet.
Output: Ökad kvalitet på vård, ökad tillgång och möjlighet att få tillgång till SRHR-service.

Mål 4)  IPPF ska vara en enad federation som i hög grad bidrar till SRHR-agendan.
Output: Ökad operationell effektivitet med en ökad insamling av medel, samt med en större aktiv bas av volontärer och aktivister.  

Sida är en av kärnstödsgivarna till IPPF tillsammans med Danmark, Norge, Holland, Tyskland, Australien, Schweiz, Nya Zeeland och Japan. Kärnstödet är viktigt för IPPF som under 2020 utgör 36% eller 58 MUSD av den totala budgeten på 163 MUSD för 2020. Sidas del utgör 20% av den totala kärnstödsbudgeten. Dessa icke-öronmärkta medel har varit   
av stor betydelse för IPPF men är än mer viktiga för IPPF givet de enorma behov som uppstått i och med Covid 19 krisen. IPPF has been a long standing partner and has again approached Sida for a unrestricted support for 2020-2022. IPPF has applied for funding to the Strategic Framework of which Sida has agreed to a sum of SEK 330 Million for the three years.

The Strategic Framework aims to achieve the following Outcomes and outputs:

Outcome 1) 100 governments will respect, protect and fulfil sexual and reproductive rights and gender equality by 2022
Output: Increased capacity of MAs to advocate on SRHR issues

Outcome 2) 1 billion people will act freely on their sexual and reproductive rights by 2022
Output: Increased awareness of SRHR, increased acceptability of and demand for SRHR services, especially among women and youth 

Outcome 3) IPPF and our partners will deliver 2 billion quality, integrated sexual and reproductive health services by 2022
Output: Enhanced quality of care; improved availability, accessibility and affordability of SRH services

Outcome 4) IPPF will be a high performing and united federation
Output: Enhanced operational effectiveness with increased income; and increased volunteer and activist support base

Sida is one of the core donors to IPPF, where the unrestricted funding comprises 36% of the total budget or 58 MUSD, of the overall budget (including restricted funding) of 163 MUSD for 2020 which totals roughly 20% of the total unrestricted funding to IPPF. The unrestricted funding is currently even more important for IPPF given the Covid 129 crisis. As this is a core funding, we use and highlight IPPFs core outcomes and outputs.

IPPF's new Strategy (2023-2028) has twelve outcomes - which IPPF will report against in this amended agreement. Compared to the outcomes in the previous IPPF Strategy (2026-2022) the new strategy encompassess similar types of outcomes, however adapted to the current needs as well as more in line with the organisational changes due to the reform the organisation has gone through over the last few years. The assessment is that the previous assessment done by Sida, based on the old IPPF strategy still holds. Importantly, however to highlight some of the key changes between the two strategies include:

Previously, IPPF's strategic ambition was to deliver increasingly high numbers of services, and drive policy change across a large number of countries. In the new strategy, whilst remaining ambitious and seek to grow their impact, the emphasis is to use available resources to reach people who are being excluded and marginalised with quality and people-centred care. It is not only about reaching high numbers, but also about who they reach and the quality of the care that is provided.

Secondly, the new strategy moves its ambition from broad policy shifts to much deeper interventions that combine all the tools at IPPFs disposal: shaping laws, policies and norms through feminist action and international solidarity. In doing so, IPPF will expand partnerships to activists, grassroots as well as community based organizations. IPPF will be working in a larger ecosystem of new and diverse partnerships.

Lastly, the new strategy is about nurturing and growing the federation, and this starts with re-defining IPPF key values (with a new Charter of values), and being honest about addressing shortcomings while adding new impetus to IPPFs ambition and drive. Likewise, the new strategy will focus more systematically in supporting MAs to become sustainable social enterprises that are less dependent on aid funding.

The new Strategy - "IPPF 2028 - Come Together"  

Outcomes:

1. Proportion of [service providing] MAs/CPs providing IPES-plus AND meeting quality standards.

2. Number of clients served by type of services and model of care (including Digital Health Interventions (DHIs), facilitated self-care) with focus on adolescents and young people, people in humanitarian settings and other marginalized and excluded people.

3. Number of services provided by type of services and model of care (including DHIs, facilitated self-care) with focus on adolescents and young people, people in humanitarian settings and other marginalized and excluded people.

4. Aggregated proportion of MAs/CPs contribution to the national SRH services provided in their countries IPPF's contribution in supporting social movements and defending activists.

 5. Number of successful policy initiatives and legislative changes in support or defence of SRHR

6.  Shifts in perception of attitudes in relation to gender equality and inclusion across the Federation and the communities we serve

7. Quality reach of and impact CSE, youth centred care, and progress in youth engagement in the Federation.

8.  IPPFs contribution in supporting social movements and defending activists.

9. Number of intra- and inter-sector campaigns delivered by the federation in support or defence of SRHR, through a diversity and decolonization lens.

10. Proportion of research and evidence initiatives generated by MA-led centres of learning that are from the global south.

11.  Proportion MAs/CPs receiving less than 50% of their income from one single donor.

12. Overall Secretariat Efficiency Score.

The new IPPF Strategy 2023-2028 is a step forward compared to the old Strategy (2016-2022) in that IPPF will be more proactive in driving change in a progressive direction, allows IPPF to be more dynamic, agile, quick to act and fast to respond. The assessment is also that it focuses on the quality of services with people in the centre and with a focus on marginalised and excluded groups of people.
