transformative action in family planning and maternal health

2022

United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA)

As the only United Nations programme dedicated to family planning, the UNFPA Supplies Partnership works in 48 countries to expand rights to and availability of quality reproductive health commodity choices, including modern contraceptives and essential maternal health medicine. UNFPA’s aim is to help ensure these supplies reach the last mile, with a special focus on adolescents and youth living in the hardest to reach areas.

CHALLENGE

When a young woman enters her reproductive years, she needs access to readily available information, services and supplies to protect her sexual and reproductive health and rights. These are key to ensuring she can stay in school, delay marriage, space or avoid pregnancies, protect her health and earn more income. Yet some 257 million women and girls in developing countries who want to avoid pregnancy are not using safe, modern methods of contraception.

ACTION

The UNFPA Supplies Partnership works to support women and girls, including in remote and hard-to-reach areas, to access family planning by ensuring a steady, reliable supply of quality contraceptives and life-saving maternal health medicines. It does this by accelerating global and country commitments, systems capacity and financing.
