Billions of dollars needed to alleviate GBV: UN - SABC News - Breaking news, special reports, world, business, sport coverage of all South African current events. Africa's news leader.

Shocking figures on what it would take to cut-down on GBV against women were revealed in a gathering in Nairobi, Kenya.

The world will need at least 264 Billion US Dollars in the next ten years to end preventable maternal deaths, eliminate gender-based violence and harmful practices, and meet the family planning needs of women in high-priority countries, according to new research released in Nairobi on Tuesday on the sidelines of the International Conference on Population and Development .

According to the United Nations, currently, only $42 billion in development assistance is expected to be spent on advancing these goals. That means some 222 billion US Dollars in investments is required over the next decade, whether in the form of foreign investment, domestic allocation or private spending and yet achieving these results is a precondition to meeting the Sustainable Development Goals.To end preventable pregnancy and child-related deaths in the 120 countries that account for over 95 per cent of maternal mortality will cost $115.5 billion. This includes paying for medical staff, drugs and obstetric supplies.

“We cannot wait another 25 years. It’s time to fill these resource gaps and make this a decade of delivery. It’s time to get the job done. With strong financing momentum we can achieve these transformative results, complete the ICPD Programme of Action and meet the Sustainable Development Goals on time by 2030,” says Dr. Kanem.
