Written question asked by Baroness Kinnock of Holyhead (Labour), in the House of Lords. It was answered by Baroness Northover (Liberal Democrat) on Monday, 19 March 2012.
Health: Reproductive Health
- Question
- To ask Her Majesty's Government what action they will take to encourage the World Bank to increase the number of bank-funded reproductive health projects which address the risk of maternal injury due to unsafe abortion.
- Answer
-
The Department for International Development has welcomed the increased focus on reproductive health articulated in the World Bank's Reproductive Health Action Plan 2010-15. However, we continue to push for improved reporting of results and increased commitment to priority interventions including family planning, preventing adolescent pregnancy and addressing unsafe abortion. We also welcome the collaboration between NGOs and the World Bank to develop a scorecard for monitoring and evaluating the RHAP 2010-15. This will help ensure that the RHAP focuses on results and is harmonised with existing frameworks including the health-related millennium development goals and the United Nations' global strategy for women's and children's health.
