Estado Plurinacional de Bolivia

One of Latin America’s poorest nations, Bolivia faces lags in progress on development indicators including maternal health. UNFPA aims to strengthen public policies to uphold the universal right to access reproductive and sexual health services. Programmes help empower indigenous women, girls, adolescents and young people to exercise their rights; initiatives also encourage social movements to help shape public policies. Other efforts focus on including age-appropriate comprehensive sexuality education in schools, and on strengthening government capacities to produce and use population data.
