The ninth new country programme is aligned to national priorities, the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, the ICPD Programme of Action, the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women, and the UNFPA strategic plan, 2022–2025. The programme aims to contribute to and accelerate achievement of the 2030 Agenda, in particular SDGs 3 and 5 and the three UNFPA transformative results, in line with the Decade of Action.
The vision of the programme is to accelerate the achievement of universal access to sexual and reproductive health and reproductive rights, with a focus on reducing preventable maternal deaths, unmet need for family planning, gender-based violence, child marriage and other harmful practices. The programme will take forward the voluntary ICPD+25 and Family Planning 2030 commitments, with an emphasis on strengthening the implementation of laws, policies and financing, improving the quality of service delivery; and transforming discriminatory and harmful social and gender norms that impede gender equality, reproductive rights and bodily autonomy.
