UNFPA Annual Report 2018

In 2018, UNFPA set in motion a strategic effort, based on quality data, to achieve the goals and vision of the Programme of Action. We are striving for three zeros by 2030: zero unmet need for contraception; zero preventable maternal deaths; and zero gender-based violence and harmful practices, such as child marriage and female genital mutilation.

Governments, civil society, and individuals must all be part of the movement and will have an opportunity to join the next leg of the journey towards rights and choices for all at the Nairobi Summit on ICPD25 in Kenya in November 2019. The Governments of Kenya and Denmark, co-conveners together with UNFPA, will call on all donors, all countries, all civil society organizations, all community and youth leaders, all parliamentarians, all international financial institutions and the private sector to recommit to the principles and objectives of the Programme of Action–to make our three zeros everyone’s three zeros, and to complete the unfinished business of Cairo.
