UNFPA supports countries in using 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. UNFPA – because everyone counts. en-us serrano@unfpa.org (Alvaro Serrano) gruber@unfpa.org (Kimberly Gruber) http://www.unfpa.org/images/unfpalogoxs.gif 80 36 The world's largest international source of funding for population and reproductive health programmes http://www.unfpa.org/public/home/publications/pid/4919 This Manual, produced through a collaboration between UNFPA and the Harvard School of Public Health, provides step-by-step guidance on how to apply a culturally sensitive, gender-responsive, human rights-based approach to programming in each of UNFPA’s three core areas of work: population and development, reproductive health, and  gender. It also covers how to apply such an approach in the context of a humanitarian emergency. An accompanying set of Training Materials are also available for download. http://www.unfpa.org/public/home/publications/pid/7797 The annual report illustrates UNFPA's projects and programmes in 155 countries in 2010 and provides a snapshot of income and project expenditures for the year. http://www.unfpa.org/public/home/publications/pid/6253 These guidelines address key data issues related to the preparedness, acute, chronic and post-crisis phases of humanitarian emergencies. They provide an overview of the main data needs for each phase, challenges to obtaining reliable data and information, plausible approaches to data collection, management and use, and the strengths and weaknesses of the methods considered. http://www.unfpa.org/public/home/publications/pid/4169 This Toolkit is intended to guide humanitarian programme managers and healthcare providers to ensure that sexual and reproductive health interventions put into place both during and after a crisis are responsive to the unique needs of adolescents. It provides user-friendly tools for assessing the impact of a crisis on adolescents, implementing an adolescent-friendly Minimum Initial Service Package, and ensuring that adolescents can participate in the development and implementation of humanitarian programmes. Other tools are specifically designed for healthcare providers to help them effectively provide and track services for adolescents at the clinic and community levels. http://www.unfpa.org/public/home/publications/pid/366 This report documents a workshop to train Iraqi women leaders in tools and procedures to enhance their effectiveness and that of their organizations. UNFPA has long recognized the distinct experience of women in conflict and post-conflict settings and has developed a strategy for gender mainstreaming in such situations. The workshop trained leaders of Iraqi NGOs in the skills to participate in rehabilitation and peace processes. http://www.unfpa.org/public/home/publications/pid/410 The voices of young people from Afghanistan, Angola, Burundi, Colombia, Haiti, Iraq, Liberia, Nepal, the Occupied Palestinian Territory, Rwanda, Somalia, Sudan and many other countries affected by war have been brought together in this unique report. http://www.unfpa.org/public/home/publications/pid/402 This report summarizes views on assisting displaced women in conflict and post-conflict situations as presented at the UNFPA Expert Meeting in Tunisia. The first goal of the meeting was to bridge the gap between knowledge and policies regarding women's protection needs -- or gender-specific protection issues. The second goal was to identify specific means for the integration of emergency-related programming into the mainstream of UNFPA work. http://www.unfpa.org/public/home/publications/pid/1278 This report is intended to contribute to the United Nations efforts to implement the Security council resolution 1325 by reassessing the UNFPA institutional support, as well as defining and strengthening UNFPA role in implementing the resolution through global, regional and country programs examples and interventions. http://www.unfpa.org/public/home/publications/pid/1348 Women form the backbone of families and communities. When emergencies strike, their important contributions become even more vital. But in times of crisis, the particular strengths an vulnerabilities of women are often overlooked in the rush to provide humanitarian assistance. This booklet describes the ways in which UNFPA works with partners to ensure that the specific needs of women are factored into the planning of all humanitarian assistance and addresses urgent reproductive health needs that are sometimes forgotten. http://www.unfpa.org/public/home/publications/pid/1290 This advocacy kit outlines the problem of gender-based violence, elaborates its linkages to poverty, reproductive health, HIV/AIDS and conflict, and discusses its impact on a nation's development. The goal is to mobilize leadership at the national, regional and global levels to make violence unacceptable. http://www.unfpa.org/public/home/publications/pid/1343 How do we improve the lives of the nearly 3 billion individuals living on less than two dollars a day? How can we enable all individuals — male and female, young and old — to protect themselves from HIV? To save the lives of more than 500,000 women who die each year in childbirth? What will it take to show young people living in poverty that they have a stake in development and a hope for the future? For perhaps the first time in history, questions such as these are not simply rhetorical. They have answers: answers that go to the very heart of what it means to be a woman or a man, wealthy or poor. http://www.unfpa.org/public/home/publications/pid/1436 The Guidelines for HIV/AIDS Interventions in Emergency Settings have been developed by the Inter-Agency Standing Committee (IASC) Task force on HIV/AIDS in Emergency Settings to respond to the growing concern for the development of a more specific response to HIV/AIDS in crises.  http://www.unfpa.org/public/home/publications/pid/1414 Over the past five years, humanitarian agencies have been working to put in place systems to respond to sexual and gender-based violence, as well as to support community-based efforts to prevent such violence. Clinical management of Rape Survivors describes best practices in the clinical management of people who have been raped in emergency situations; it is intended for adaptation to each situation, taking into account national policies and practices, and availability of materials and drugs. http://www.unfpa.org/public/home/publications/pid/2521 The "Training Workshop on Capacity-Building for NGOs in Conflict/Post-Conflict Situations" was held in Bratislava, Slovakia, 18-22 November 2002. The Workshop had two main objectives: to empower participants through skills development training, enabling them to contribute more effectively to their conflict-torn societies; and to formulate strategies and tools to ensure that UNFPA best supports this empowerment, specifically by addressing those strategies through a comprehensive gender-sensitive approach. http://www.unfpa.org/public/home/publications/pid/3209 Commissioned by the United Nations Development Fund for Women (UNIFEM), this colorful book examines the progress made in implementing the United Nations Security Council Resolution 1325 on women, peace and security. The report - prepared by two independent experts, with support from UNFPA - highlights the prevalence of violence against women before, during and after armed conflicts. The experts based their findings on firsthand data and testimonies collected during visits to East Timor, Cambodia, the Balkans, Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territory, Colombia, Africa's Great Lakes region, Somalia, Sierra Leone, Liberia and Guinea.
