How we work
UNFPA works in more than 150 countries and territories that are home to the vast majority of the world’s people.
Executing our vision
We provide data and analysis to show countries’ progress, mobilize resources and expertise, advocate with government officials or in public forums and through training and monitoring. We participate in regional and international meetings that enhance knowledge about and commitment to our issues.
Since 1978, UNFPA has published an annual flagship report - the State of World Population - to give wider visibility to critical and emerging issues.
UNFPA further expands the scope of its work by partnering with civil society, academic institutions and the private sector. In 2013, we formed a Civil Society Advisory Panel to encourage dialogue with organizations, networks and partners on programming and policies. UNFPA also works with parliamentarians to review progress in implementing the ICPD Programme of Action and administers pooled funding mechanisms including Joint Programmes and Multi-Donor Trust Funds at global, country and regional levels.
Holding ourselves accountable
Leaving no one behind
At the centre of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (2030 Agenda) and its Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is the principle of leaving no one behind (LNOB), comprising all groups excluded from progress. LNOB is a firm commitment made by Member States to eradicate poverty, discrimination and exclusion and reduce the inequalities and vulnerabilities that undermine a safe and equitable future for all.
At UNFPA, LNOB is an important cornerstone of all its organizational policies, corporate strategies and operations and programming. We have a strong track record in working with and for marginalized groups including young women and adolescent girls, LGBTQIA+ individuals, indigenous peoples, people living with HIV/AIDS, and persons with disabilities. In order to reach the groups that most lack choice and opportunity to benefit from development progress, UNFPA identifies and prioritizes those facing gender discrimination plus at least one other intersectional disadvantage.
