Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights: Measuring Values and Norms to Guide Swedish Development Cooperation (2021:04)

Sammanfattning

Ensuring universal access to sexual and reproductive health and
rights (SRHR) is essential to fulfil the 17 sustainable development
goals (SDGs) of the 2030 Agenda. Sweden is one of few countries
to maintain a longstanding commitment to universal SRHR and
gender equality throughout its official development assistance
(ODA), regardless of shifts in governments and political agendas.
Much of Sweden’s bilateral and regional SRHR–ODA is focused on
sub-Saharan Africa, which is the region that has seen the least
progress in SRHR outcomes (such as maternal mortality and
morbidity, unsafe abortions, HIV, unmet need for contraceptives).
