UNFPA Annual Report 2017
Year on year, millions of women and adolescents in 155 countries and territories have been progressively able to exercise their sexual and reproductive health and rights. This is in no small measure as a result of UNFPA programmes and activities.
The UNFPA strategic plan for 2014-2017 set ambitious targets for increasing access to sexual and reproductive health services. These services have empowered millions of women to make their own decisions about whether, when or how often to become pregnant. They have enabled millions of teenagers to avoid unplanned pregnancy, and to make safe and healthy transitions to adulthood. And they have slowed the unnecessary and cruel tide of maternal death.
State of the World Population Report 2017
UNFPA’s Worlds Apart report calls for actions that lead to a brighter future, where all women govern their own lives, have equal access to sexual and reproductive health care and have the knowledge, skills and power to find gainful employment.
State of the World Population Report 2016
When a girl reaches age 10, her world changes. A flurry of life-changing events pulls her in many directions. Where she ends up depends on the support she receives and the power she has to shape her own future. In some parts of the world, a 10-year-old girl, on the verge of adolescence, sees limitless possibilities ahead and begins making choices that will influence her education and, later, her work and her life. But in other parts of the world, a 10-year-old girl’s horizons are limited. As she reaches puberty, a formidable combination of relatives, figures in her community, social and cultural norms, institutions and discriminatory laws block her path forward. By age 10, she may be forced to marry. She may be pulled out of school to begin a lifetime of childbearing and servitude to her husband. At 10, she may become property, a commodity that can be bought and sold.

Thematic Evaluation of National Programmes and UNFPA Experience in the Campaign to End Fistula
In 2003, the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) and partners launched a global Campaign to End Fistula. The Campaign is currently in its second implementation phase (2006-2010). It has raised a total of 31 million US dollars between 2004 and 2008. The Campaign supports fistula prevention as well as treatment and psychosocial support of women living with fistula in more than 45 countries. At the regional and global level, the Campaign provides technical support to national programmes and engages in international advocacy for the elimination of fistula.
