The Global Gag Rule (GGR) makes non-U.S. nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) ineligible for U.S. Government global health funding if they provide, refer, or promote access to abortion. This study uses data from a panel of health facilities over the years 2017-2020 to examine quantitatively examines the impacts of the GGR on family planning service provision in Ethiopia. The study findings highlight that while the GGR was slow to fully impact NGOs in Ethiopia, it ultimately resulted in negative impacts on family planning service provision.
