Mission and objectives
UNFPA, the United Nations Population Fund, is the lead UN agency for delivering a world where
every pregnancy is wanted, every birth is safe, and every young person's potential is fulfilled.
UNFPA is on the ground improving lives in about 150 countries, home to 80 per cent of the world’s population. In these countries, the Fund is a catalyst for progress.
Ensuring sustainable financing for SRHR in the current economic landscape requires greater reliance on domestic public resources and building on strategic private-public partnerships and innovative financing approaches to accelerate the shift from funding to financing the International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) agenda. To achieve its 2022-2025 Strategic Plan, UNFPA aims to boost access to sustainable financing for SRHR from various sources to implement the ICPD agenda.
As part of this effort, the organization seeks to establish and expand partnerships to strengthen
financing architectures and promote innovative financing modalities for SRHR.
The position is placed in a small team led by the UNFPA APRO Regional Health Economic Adviser,
coordinating UNFPA’s strategic efforts to expand and leverage public and private financing in its
mandated field in Asia and the Pacific.
