UNFPA Cuba
Contraceptive prevalence is high in Cuba, and sexuality education has expanded. But unwanted pregnancies and high abortion rates indicate gaps, particularly among young people. UNFPA cooperation began in 1971 and today helps to incorporate population dynamics into development programmes. It assists in extending reproductive and health care services to adolescents and young adults, while strengthening related national education initiatives. Partnerships with the government and civil society aim to prevent and address gender-based violence.
