We advocate for sexual& reproductive care for all
Who we are
Countdown 2030 Europe is the ‘go-to’ cross-country sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) expert Consortium in Europe seeking to increase European SRHR funding in international cooperation and strengthen political support for sexual and reproductive freedom worldwide. The Consortium is made up of 15 leading European non-governmental organisations and is coordinated by IPPF European Network.
We believe that we can overcome the global challenges we face today only through collective action and international solidarity by which we mean a fundamental shift in power relations and systems change. We believe that acting for sexual and reproductive freedom across the globe strengthens our society as a whole.
What we do
Since 2005, we drive the European global political engagement and financial commitments on universal access to sexual and reproductive health and rights and family planning (SRHR/FP) within the international cooperation sphere and we hold European donor governments and the European Union to account for their SRHR/FP policy and funding commitments to achieve Gender Equality and Health for all.
Countdown 2030 Europe aims to make Europe a progressive and accountable global partner and financial supporter of SRHR/FP.
