Since 2010, the UK government has given Bill Gates’ initiatives, including GAVI, IFFIm, COVAX and CEPI, £4.4 billion for vaccines and the research and development of vaccines.  But that’s not the only global agenda-driven project that the UK government is funding.

The UK’s foreign aid also funds sexual and reproductive health and rights (“SRHR”) programmes in various countries, with the International Planned Parenthood Federation being the largest recipient, receiving £648 million out of a total of £662 million spent on SRHR since 2018.

More About Funds Given to Bill Gates

Yesterday we published an article about the UK government funding Bill Gates’ GAVI through foreign aid. For the period 2010 to 2016, the UK’s Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (“FCDO”) gave GAVI £936 million, for 2016 to 2020 £1 billion and another £1 billion for the years 2021 to 2025.   Total taxpayers’ funds handed to GAVI over the 15 years is a little under £3 billion. It’s interesting to note that since 2016, FCDO has described the funds as “UK investment in GAVI.”

The investment in GAVI excludes “aid” to multinational non-governmental organisations (“NGOs”) such as the United Nations, the World Health Organisation and the World Bank which may show GAVI as a participating organisation. Contributions to multinational NGOs reportedly make up a third of the UK’s annual foreign “aid” expenditure.

It also excludes payments to the International Finance Facility for Immunisation (“IFFIm”), which was set up to support GAVI’s activities, COVAX and the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (“CEPI”). 

Since 2007, the FCDO has so far given IFFIm £1.3 million to “reduce vaccine preventable diseases (VPDs) in poor countries in a sustainable way using innovative financing approach.”   And £167.6 million for the years 2010 to 2024 to “strengthened capacity of the health system to deliver immunisation and other health services in a sustainable manner.”

Since 2021, FCDO has given COVAX £184 million. The bulk, £180 million, relates to funds for the years 2021 to 2024 given to the COVAX Advance Market Commitment using the IFFIm.

Since 2022, FCDO has given CEPI  £1.3 billion for the research and development of vaccines. Additionally, the Department of Health and Social Care has given CEPI £20 million over the years 2018 and 2020 for the “development of vaccines against diseases with epidemic potential.”

Why have we made mention of COVAX and CEPI when speaking of Bill Gates’ initiatives?

GAVI is a public-private global health partnership founded in 2000 by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation “and partners.”  The four permanent members of the GAVI board are the World Health Organisation, the World Bank, UNICEF (vice chair) and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. COVAX is a consortium operated by GAVI, CEPI and UNICEF. And CEPI was founded in 2017 in Davos, Switzerland by the governments of Norway and India, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the Wellcome Trust and the World Economic Forum.

The common denominator in all these schemes is Gates.  If we add GAVI, IFFIm, COVAX and CEPI together,  the UK government has given Bill Gates’ projects £4.4 billion since 2010.

In this article, we want to take a look at another expenditure in the UK foreign aid budget which caught our eye: Sexual and reproductive health and rights (“SRHR”).

To do this, we typed “SRHR” into the search box on the UK government’s ‘Development Tracker’ which shows expenditure per programme for all government departments.  Before we list the SRHR programmes, it’s worth noting the origins of these programmes.

Background to Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (“SRHR”)

The modern SRHR movement began with the International Conference on Population and Development (“ICPD”) in Cairo in 1994.  The ICPD shifted debates from economics to public health and human rights, affirming sexual and reproductive health as a universal human right and outlining global goals and objectives.

The UN Population Fund (“UNFPA”) was described in a 2007 report for the US Congress as the world’s largest source of population and reproductive health programmes. It started operations in 1969 and assumed a leading role within the UN in promoting population programmes. At the ICPD, its mandate was fleshed out in greater detail and UNFPA was given the lead role in helping countries carry out the Conference’s Programme of Action.

Called “The Cairo Plan,” the Plan discounted the term “population control” – which emphasised coercive means and quotas – and instead, for the first time, promoted policies that gave women greater control over their lives, promoted economic equality and opportunity and giving them a greater voice in reproduction decisions.  The Plan recognised that population growth needed a programme that increased the educational, economic and political rights of women.  This in turn leads women to want fewer children.

According to the book ‘Human Geography: Landscapes of Human Activities’, those attending the ICPD agreed on a strategy for “stabilising” the world’s population at 7.27 billion no later than 2015.

The story to formalise and fund the plan to reduce the world’s population had begun almost 30 years earlier.

Stanley Johnson, former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s father, left Oxford University in 1963.  He joined the World Bank and was working in Washington before being invited to work for John D. Rockefeller III in 1968.  That year, Rockefeller had been appointed chair of the United Nations’ National (USA) Policy Panel on World Population.  The aim of the Panel was to consider the role of the UN in helping the world to come to grips with the “population problem.” Stanley was invited to serve as Rockefeller’s chief of staff for the Panel.

“The main outcome of the Panel was a report which said the UN should establish a Population Agency and that it should be run by a high-level appointee … I was the main author of the report,” Stanley said during an interview in 2014.  The name of that agency, Stanley said, was “the United Nations Fund for Population Activities, or UNPFA” and is now called “the United Nations Population Fund.”

In 1974, Stanley published a book titled ‘The Population Problem’ which discusses various aspects of population growth and its implications. In 1995, Stanley published a book titled ‘The Politics of Population: The International Conference on Population and Development, Cairo 1994’. According to the description of the book on Google:

This book recounts what actually happened in Cairo and how it was achieved. The early chapters look in some detail at the preparations for Cairo, in the context of over three decades of attempts to integrate population, development and environmental issues. Focusing on the key controversial questions, including abortion, contraception and adolescent sex, it examines the ways in which attempts were made to reconcile opposing positions. Setting the discussion in a much wider context, it argues that Cairo witnessed a “quantum leap” in the way the population issue is seen, and the need to give them control over their own lives – central to the discussion about population, resources and development.

International Planned Parenthood Federation

Before we get to the UK’s funding of SRHR, it’s worth making a brief note about Planned Parenthood as it is by far the largest recipient of UK SRHR “aid”; £648 million out of a total of £662 million.

International Planned Parenthood Federation (“IPPF”) was founded in 1952 at the Third International Planned Parenthood Conference by Margaret Sanger and Lady Rama Rau, the founder and president of the Family Planning Association of India.  The two women served as IFFP’s joint president, with Sanger serving as president from 1952-1959.

Today, IPPF is a movement of 150 Member Associations and Collaborative Partners with a presence in over 146 countries, with the Planned Parenthood Federation of America, founded by Sanger, being a Member Association of IPPF in the United States.

Sanger was associated with prominent eugenicists of her day and she herself believed in eugenics.   She was also a close friend of the Rockefeller family and received significant support from the Rockefeller family for her birth control initiatives. In addition to financial support, the Rockefellers played a role in shaping the narrative around birth control and population control.

Michael Barker wrote in 2010, “The Planned Parenthood Federation of America serves a critical role in contemporary society, not as a harbinger of charity and health, but instead as an integral humanitarian tool in capitalism’s war against life.”

UK Foreign Aid on SRHR

The following table lists the results from searching the UK government’s ‘Development Tracker’.  We have added the years the programme relates to, in brackets, after the programme title and added hyperlinks to the “department” name as shown in the tracker, except if it is a known UK government department. 

We have included programmes which have no budget and/or spend for informational purposes as a more detailed description of the programmes further solidifies what SRHR means and may indicate what funds could be allocated to SRHR in the future.

*Note: The Population Council is an international, nonprofit, non-governmental organisation founded in 1952 by John D. Rockefeller III.  For the table above we searched for “SRHR” and only one item for The Population Council returned.  However, a search for “Population Council” returns 4 results.  The reason why they were not picked up in the “SRHR” search is that the programmes don’t include the acronym “SRHR.”  Another search for “Baobab” returns 3 results.  One was already noted in the “SRHR” search and included in the table above, one was for “research on climate change” and the third where the full name “Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights” was used without mentioning the acronym and The Population Council is shown as a participating organisation rather than as a “department.”  We have added this last item to the table above.

While previously it was a hobby culminating in writing articles for Wikipedia (until things made a drastic and undeniable turn in 2020) and a few books for private consumption, since March 2020 I have become a full-time researcher and writer in reaction to the global takeover that came into full view with the introduction of covid-19. For most of my life, I have tried to raise awareness that a small group of people planned to take over the world for their own benefit. There was no way I was going to sit back quietly and simply let them do it once they made their final move.
