Terms of Reference (ToR) for tracking Family Planning (FP) National Budget Allocations, Disbursements and Spending for the past three Fiscal Years (2015/16, 2016/17, 2017/2018).

Overview of PAI project on Budget Accountability:

In March of 2016, PAI convened a meeting with civil society family planning budget advocacy experts from Kenya, Malawi, Tanzania, Uganda, and Zambia. The meeting provided an opportunity for participants to (1) develop a common understanding of citizens’ access to information necessary to monitor government expenditures for family planning; and (2) build a common framework for measuring government spending on family planning across the five countries, to fuel citizen oversight and accountability.

PAI is now piloting the implementation of the common framework to help build pressure for governments to increase commitments to family planning. The long-term goal of this project is to ensure that governments are accountable for providing family planning services, namely through providing the majority of funding required for family planning services and supplies. To achieve this goal PAI will partner with local organizations in Kenya, Malawi, Tanzania, Uganda and Zambia to work towards following project outcomes:

  • Increased government action on family planning commitments in the five countries
  • Increased production and publication of official data on government expenditures for family planning services and supplies in these countries
  • Increased cooperation and learning among family planning budget advocacy experts on what works in building government accountability for family planning
