Organization Mission

UNFPA is the United Nations sexual and reproductive health agency. Our mission is to deliver a world where every pregnancy is wanted, every childbirth is safe and every young person”s potential is fulfilled.

UNFPA’s goal is to achieve universal access to sexual and reproductive health, realize
reproductive rights, and reduce maternal mortality to accelerate progress on the ICPD
agenda, to improve the lives of adolescents and youth, and women, enabled by population
dynamics, human rights, and gender equality.

In 2018, UNFPA launched efforts to achieve three transformative results, ambitions that promise to change the world for every man, woman and young person:

1.) Ending unmet need for family planning
2.) Ending preventable maternal death
3.) Ending gender-based violence and harmful practises

UNFPA recognizes that innovation is a key accelerator to achieve these results. UNFPA will harness innovation to meet tomorrow’s challenges and boost its impact, especially in addressing furthest behind populations, and leverage opportunities, social capital, funding and technology by (a) strengthening the corporate innovation architecture and capabilities, (b) scaling up innovations that have proven to be effective and impactful, (c) forming new partnerships and connecting with relevant innovation ecosystems, (d) strengthening and leveraging financing for innovation, and (e) expanding communities and culture for innovation.

Context

Young people, especially adolescent girls, continue to be marginalized and suffer human rights violations. As we commemorate the International Youth Day, it is time to renew efforts to make young people a priority. At UNFPA, the United Nations Population Fund, we are promoting the participation and leadership of young people.
