You can search the Guide to Reproductive Health, HIV/AIDS and Population Assistance by donor country, using the menu on the left, as well as by recipient country using the search engine available here. The search result will provide you with a list of funding opportunities available in your target country.

Throughout the Guide, donor country profiles and the funding programmes profiles are in an easy-to-use format, which may vary slightly from one country to another.

For each country an introduction informs you about the country’s development co-operation. This icludes a look at the organisational structure of the agencies and ministries in charge, main policy documents, priority themes and sectors, as well as official development assistance (ODA) figures. In addition, the introduction has four sub-sections informing you about the country’s bilateral aid (including priority sectors, main partner countries), multilateral aid (including which are the priority recipient organisations), its support for SRHR and HIV/AIDS activities and its co-operation with NGOs.
