Funding for international family planning to improve the health of women and children around the world
CCIH is currently working with its members, other Christians and people of faith, and the US Congress to gain support for increased US commitment and funding for international health services around the world. CCIH works closely with partner organizations (the Faith & Global Health Caucus of the Global Health Council, Christian Health Associations in Africa, Family Health International, etc.) to ensure a well-coordinated and broad-based effort.
- CCIH requesting endorsement of Interfaith Declaration | DSW (Deutsche Stiftung Weltbevoelkerung), Christian Connections for International Health (CCIH) and Muhammadiyah conducted an extended consultation and adopted an “Interfaith Declaration to Improve Family Health and Well-Being”.
As one of the principle organizations involved in this effort, CCIH is requesting endorsement of the Nairobi Declaration by CCIH members and affiliates. Please contact Amy Metzger with any questions or comments.

CCIH and some member organizations signed onto this letter to Senator Patrick Leahy, the Chair of the Subcommittee on State/Foreign Operations of the Committee on Appropriations. This letter was coordinated by the Global Health Council. | View Sign-On Letter Here

22 June, 2011 | CCIH signs on to a community letter to House and Senate appropriators asking for a minimum for the President's request for fiscal year 2012 global health funding. The Chairman of the House Appropriations Committee reduced the overall funding for international development (which includes global health) by $11 billion from the President's overall request $50 billion. This means that the House allocation for funding for global health may be below the President's request. The Senate has not yet issued its allocation. | View Sign-On Letter Here
