United Nations Population Fund
2024
The United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) is the United Nations organization focused primarily on sexual and reproductive health. The overall mission of UNFPA is to deliver a world in which every pregnancy is wanted, every woman has a safe childbirth, and every young person has the ability to reach their potential. The organization focuses on supporting women in a variety of ways, from promoting reliable access to contraceptive methods to promoting the health of pregnant women to eliminating female genital mutilation. UNFPA works with policymakers, governments, and organizations to further develop laws and practices supporting sexual and reproductive health.
The flagship report produced by the Population Fund is entitled State of the World Population, a report focused on the evolution of women’s rights, including those related to marriage, reproduction, employment, and education. The organization also produces numerous other reports and publications, as well as news stories. The topic portal provides information on all of the areas in which UNFPA focuses. When a specific topic is selected, all of the related publications, news, and an interactive map appear. UNFPA also hosts a data portal, allowing users to view sexual and reproductive health data in an interactive format. When a country on the interactive map is selected, it takes the user to an interactive country profile outlining demographic information, information on birth attendants, and expenditure information on sexual and reproductive health services, among other indicators.
