UNFPA, the United
Nations Population Fund, is the world's largest
international source of funding for population and
reproductive health programmes. Since we began
operations in
1969, the Fund has provided nearly $6 billion in
assistance to developing countries. UNFPA works with
governments and non-governmental organisations in over
140 countries, at their request, and with the support of
the international community.
UNFPA also helps governments in the world's poorest
countries, and in other countries in
need, to formulate population policies and strategies in
support of sustainable development.
All UNFPA-funded programmes promote women's equality.
UNFPA works to raise awareness
of these needs among people everywhere. We advocate for
close attention to population problems and help to
mobilise resources to solve them. |
