On Wednesday, October 22, 2025, the African Population and Health Research Center and its partners held the second of a three-part webinar series addressing the significant funding cuts affecting global health, particularly adolescent sexual and reproductive health (ASRH), in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Over the past two years, overseas development assistance has drastically reduced, with ASRH initiatives in LMICs being particularly hard hit. This puts decades of progress at risk, as essential services like contraception, maternal care, and HIV treatment are disrupted.
The aim of the second webinar was to showcase the effects of the sharp cuts in four countries and at global level and discuss how governments and multilateral agencies are responding to safeguard the gains in ASRH. The full recording of the webinar is available here.
