Support UNFPA Funding Act

The Support UNFPA Funding Act would authorize $74 million in annual appropriations for fiscal years 2026 and 2027 to support the United Nations Population Fund’s core programs, including maternal health, family planning, gender-based violence prevention, and efforts to end harmful practices like child marriage and female genital mutilation. The bill affirms UNFPA’s role as a key U.S. partner in advancing global health, stability, and women’s rights, emphasizing that its funding does not support abortion or coercive practices and is subject to U.S. legal restrictions. It applies to all countries except China, where funding is prohibited, and ensures appropriated funds remain available until expended. The legislation responds to documented impacts of prior U.S. funding cuts, including clinic closures and reduced services in crisis-affected regions like Afghanistan, Sudan, Yemen, and Bangladesh.
