The GUIDE to European Reproductive Health, HIV/AIDS and Population Assistance publishes information about funding available in the European Union (EU), including its Member States plus Switzerland and Norway, to help improve sexual and reproductive health and rights, HIV/AIDS and population assistance in developing countries.

The GUIDE provides governmental and non-governmental institutions with practical and user-friendly information about 67 funding instruments, including information on EU donor governments’ bilateral and multilateral ODA, priority sectors and countries, relevant activities and cooperation with NGOs.

The GUIDE seeks to increase transparency of EU resource allocation for sexual and reproductive health and rights, HIV/AIDS and population assistance. By improving NGO understanding of and access to EU funds, it improves the efficiency of EU procurement processes and streamlines the disbursement of funds. It serves as a consolidated resource to help NGOs in the field more easily access funds.

The GUIDE has been made possible with funding from the MacArthur Foundation and support from national and governmental institutions.

The German Foundation for World Population (DSW) is a German charity organization founded by two entrepreneurs in 1991 to address global reproductive health and population issues. In the late 1990s, DSW opened offices in developing countries, to provide field-based services, and in 2000 DSW opened an EU Liaison office in Brussels, Belgium, to help mobilize resources to improve global health.

DSW helps people fight their way out of poverty primarily by promoting access to sexual and reproductive health information, services and supplies. We advance sustainable development by raising awareness on global health and population issues in Germany and the European Union, and by implementing sex education programs for young people in developing countries.
