More about the contribution
The International Confederation of Midwives (ICM) has requested continued core support of SEK 29,000,000 for the implementation of its strategic plan for the years 2024-2026. ICM is a global network of more than a hundred national and regional midwifery associations. ICM's overall goal is that every childbearing woman should have access to midwifery care for herself and her newborn child. By strengthening midwives and promoting the global capacity of the midwifery profession, the effort contributes to safe pregnancy and childbirth, as well as promoting SRHR, for everyone but with a focus on the poorest countries. ICM's programmatic work focuses on midwifery as well as an integrated approach to sexual, reproductive, maternal, neonatal, child and adolescent health care (SRMNCAH) and women's and girls' rights. Sida's core support during 2020-2023 has been decisive for ICM's work to strengthen the organization and position itself as a leader in the midwifery profession. The support has resulted in ICM's obvious place in global contexts relating to midwifery as well as SRHR, and in close collaborations with UNFPA and WHO. Sida's continued core support gives ICM the opportunity to continue building and strengthening its organization and capacity to more effectively implement its strategy. During 2024, no forward funding of Sida funds is allowed. The agreement, however, opens up the possibility for ICM to forward funding if decided contractual conditions are met.
