title: Withholding of funding for UNFPA, 1988.
abstract: In 1988, USAID decided for the fourth year in a row to withhold its contribution to the UN Population Fund (UNFPA).  The contribution amounts $25 million.  The stated reason for the withholding of funds was the same as in past years: the Agency's objection to UNFPA support for China.  It viewed China's family planning program, which emphasized the importance of one child per family, as sanctioning coercive abortions.
