Four future scenarios for three transformative results

This publication presents four plausible future scenarios that UNFPA and its partners may face on the path to achieving the three transformative results : (a) ending unmet need for family planning; (b) ending preventable maternal deaths; (c) ending gender-based violence and harmful practices.

Four Scenarios for Three Transformative Results is the first time UNFPA has introduced a structured future-informed approach into its strategic planning, as part of a shared response to the turbulent, uncertain, novel and ambiguous conditions we live in. The publication sets out to provide the broad range of UNFPA partners and allies with challenging and relevant stories about the future worlds set in 2050, highlighting their potential implications for the sexual and reproductive health and reproductive rights stakeholders, and leaving the scenario users with some critical questions to consider.
