Results in Nicaragua

Active in Nicaragua since 1974, UNFPA supports the inclusion of issues related to population dynamics, young people, sexual and reproductive health, and gender-based violence in public policies. Nicaragua has successfully incorporated reproductive rights in its health and education laws and policies, and has made headway in reducing maternal mortality. But key challenges remain, including a high adolescent pregnancy rate. UNFPA strengthens capacities to provide high-quality maternal health and newborn care and comprehensive sexuality education for young people, among others. It also backs measures to prevent and respond to gender-based violence.

Results featured are cumulative - i.e., achieved between the 2014 and 2017 timeframe, and reflect the net situation, true as of the year selected
Majority of the results are captured from 127 UNFPA programme countries
Indicators that are marked ‘not achieved’ could imply any of the following conditions:
- The country may have achieved the result without the support of UNFPA
- The country has not targeted the given indicator during the 2014-2017 period
