Management and Oversight Expert

UNFPA is the lead UN agency dedicated to ensuring that every pregnancy is wanted, every childbirth is safe, and young people can reach their full potential. It expands opportunities for women and young people to lead healthy, productive lives by supporting access to reproductive health and youth-friendly HIV prevention services through strong national policies, strategies, and guidelines. UNFPA also champions high-quality, disaggregated data to inform policy and planning. Its programs strengthen responses to gender-based violence and empower women, particularly in rural areas. Since its founding in 1969, maternal mortality rates have been halved, families are healthier, and young people are more connected and empowered than ever.
