They work under the overall leadership of the Regional Director and report directly to the Deputy Regional Director. How you can make a difference: UNFPA is the lead UN agency for delivering a world where every pregnancy is wanted every childbirth is safe and every young person's potential is fulfilled. UNFPA’s strategic plan (2022-2025) reaffirms the relevance of the current strategic direction of UNFPA and focuses on three transformative results: to end preventable maternal deaths; end unmet need for family planning; and end gender-based violence and harmful practices. These results capture our strategic commitments on accelerating progress towards realizing the ICPD and SDGs in the Decade of Action leading up to 2030. Our strategic plan calls upon UN Member States organizations and individuals to “build forward better” while addressing the negative impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic on women’s and girls’ access to sexual and reproductive health and reproductive rights recover lost gains and realize our goals.
