Governments, corporations and charities have pledged $10 billion to improve women's health during a global summit that ended on Thursday in Kenya, well below the amount the UN says is needed.
The UN Population Fund (UNFPA) told the summit $222 billion (202 billion euros) would be needed to achieve targets on family planning, maternal deaths and gender-based violence by 2030.
Countries including Norway, the UK and Germany promised around $2 billion, UNFPA spokesman Eddie Wright told AFP, adding the final amount could change.
The private sector and non-governmental organisations announced $8 billion - $7 billion from World Vision alone - at the ICPD25 summit, the first gathering of its kind in 25 years.
The conference, co-hosted by Kenya, Denmark and UNFPA in the capital Nairobi, saw many major players renew commitments to drastically improving reproductive health across the globe.
But a joint study released this week by UNFPA, Johns Hopkins University and other academic institutions said far more was needed to meet these targets.
Ending deaths in childbirth and harmful practices like female genital mutilation, and boosting access to contraceptives, would require $222 billion over the next decade in foreign investment, domestic spending or private contributions, the study concluded.
"These figures are a drop in the ocean compared to the dividend expected and the funds available. What we need next is the political will and financing to get the job done," UNFPA executive director Dr Natalia Kanem said in a statement Wednesday.
UNFPA communication director Arthur Erken, speaking at the conclusion of the summit Thursday, declined to elaborate on the financial pledges.
