WHO WE ARE
UNFPA (the United Nations Population Fund), is an international development agency that is guided in its work by the Programme of Action adopted at the International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) held in Cairo in 1994. UNFPA promotes the right of every woman, man and child to enjoy a life of health and equal opportunity. It supports countries in collecting, analysing and utilising population data for policies and programmes to reduce poverty and to ensure that every pregnancy is wanted, every birth is safe, every young person is free of HIV/AIDS, and every girl and woman is treated with dignity and respect.
WHAT WE DO
UNFPA’s major areas of support are Reproductive Health, Gender, and Population and Development:
SEXUAL AND REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH
Under this component UNFPA supports reproductive rights as human rights. This include family planning counselling, information, education, communication, services and commodities, prevention for HIV/AIDS and adequate commodities for that purpose (male and female condoms), Information, education, counselling, services and commodities for prenatal care, safe delivery and post-natal care including referral to emergency obstetric care facilities. It further supports prevention of abortion and post abortion care and counselling, as well as violence against women including female genital cutting/female genital mutilation.
In Lesotho UNFPA supports the Government of Lesotho through two projects under this component.
