The London Representation Office was established in 2017 and serves as a liaison with key partners to UNFPA – including governments, parliamentarians, NGOs, civil society, academia, media and citizens – in the five countries covered by the office (the United Kingdom, Ireland, Portugal, Spain and Italy). It plays a crucial role in promoting UNFPA’s mandate and thematic funds; championing sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR); and building partnerships to further collaboration and help deliver on the UNFPA’s Strategic Plan. The office advocates for UNFPA’s global programmes and its normative work, including advancing the ICPD Agenda and issues relating to gender gender equality, population, youth, and SRHR. The Chief of the UNFPA Representation Office in London serves as UNFPA’s most senior Representative in the UK and, in close coordination with headquarters, supports the Fund’s relationship with the five countries covered by the office.
