I've finally received the results of my most recent
ATIP to DFATD regarding the $6 million funding to International
Planned Parenthood.
This one asked for information since my last
ATIP, in particular, for IPPF's Annual Report for 1 April 2013 - March
2014.
I have learned a couple of interesting
things this time, and will post them over the next little while.
The first thing I learned is that the people of Tanzania may not be as enthralled with being
sterilized as IPPF would like them to be.
On page 143 of the ATIP, from the
Annual Report, on line item 1121 Provide
sterilization services in Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Mali, Sudan and
Tanzania note this:
The target sterilizations for the year is 63,455 sterilizations, but the actual is only 18,337 sterilizations. That's 45,118 people under target.
Under the comments section is this:
"The overall shortfall is almost entirely due to Tanzania. It has not been possible to ascertain why."
Could it be that the people of Tanzania don't want to be sterilized? Maybe they don't like having IPPF suggesting they
should be sterilized.
