Background
UNFPA is the leading UN agency dedicated to creating a world where every pregnancy is wanted, every childbirth is safe, and every young person’s potential is fulfilled. The UNFPA Strategic Plan (2022-2025) reaffirms the agency’s commitment to its current strategic direction and emphasizes three transformative results: ending preventable maternal deaths, addressing unmet needs for family planning, and eradicating gender-based violence and harmful practices. These goals reflect UNFPA’s dedication to advancing progress towards the ICPD and SDGs during the Decade of Action leading up to 2030. The strategic plan urges UN Member States, organizations, and individuals to “build forward better,” addressing the adverse effects of the Covid-19 pandemic on women’s and girls’ access to sexual and reproductive health and rights, recovering lost gains, and achieving the agency’s objectives.
