UNFPA

UNFPA, the United Nations Population Fund, is the United Nations' sexual and reproductive health agency. Founded in 1969, it works to uphold the rights and choices of women, girls and young people, and operates in more than 150 countries. Its stated aim is a world in which every pregnancy is wanted, every childbirth is safe and every young person can fulfil their potential.

Its programme areas span family planning and sexual and reproductive health services delivered with governments, partners and communities; maternal health and midwifery initiatives; programming to address gender-based violence and harmful practices; support for population data collection and demographic analysis to inform policy; and humanitarian and emergency response, run before, during and after crises to keep sexual and reproductive health needs within the humanitarian system.

Work sits at the intersection of global public health, gender equality and human rights, humanitarian response and demographics. The organisation describes itself as rights-based, with an emphasis on choice and gender equality, and as collaborative in approach, working alongside governments, partners and communities. Roles draw on technical domains including population data and demographic analysis, sexual and reproductive health, maternal health and midwifery, gender-based violence response and emergency response.
