*Australia’s development efforts are set out in Partnerships for Recovery: Australia’s COVID-19 Development Response.

Australia is a leading supporter of international efforts to provide crisis-affected communities with lifesaving sexual and reproductive health services. These health services are often underfunded during crises, leaving women and girls vulnerable to preventable illness and death.

Since 2007, Australia has supported the International Planned Parenthood Federation and the SPRINT initiative, which has responded to more than 105 humanitarian crises, reaching over one million people.

Australia's support to SPRINT helps:

• provide safer environments for women to give birth, HIV prevention, family planning services, prevention of sexual violence and assistance to survivors of violence
• support national governments to integrate sexual and reproductive health into national disaster management policies
• build the capacity of local, national and regional organisations to implement the minimum initial services package for reproductive health in crises
