Meeting Development Goals to Reduce Poverty and Achieve Sustainable Development

UNFPA’s work on population is central to the international community’s goals to eradicate poverty and achieve sustainable development.

Population dynamics, including growth rates, age structure, fertility and mortality, migration and more—influence every aspect of human and social and economic development. In turn, other core areas of UNFPA’s work, including reproductive health and women’s empowerment, powerfully influence population trends.

Governments need to be able to gather information about, track and analyze population trends in order to create and manage sound policies and generate the political will to appropriately address both current and future needs. UNFPA assists countries in every aspect of this, as needed, from developing capacity in data collection and analysis to participating in national, regional and global policy dialogue to supporting demonstrative programmes for purpose of upscaling.
