Donor Rankings, 2019
Gender equality is one of five basic principles underpinning the Republic of Korea’s international development policy framework. The Korean International Cooperation Agency’s focus on health, education and gender are aligned with UNFPA’s work on maternal, adolescent and child health, and family planning. The cross-cutting gender equality strategy is three-pronged: Economic empowerment, social status and basic rights. Supporting basic rights includes: Promoting sexual and reproductive health and rights, supporting maternal and newborn care, and ending gender-based violence.
Specific areas of collaboration between the Republic of Korea and UNFPA include: Preventing and responding to gender-based violence in Afghanistan, providing maternal and neonatal assistance in Mozambique, preventing and treating obstetric fistula in Cote D'Ivoire, improving maternal health care in Tanzania, supporting the sexual and reproductive health and rights of adolescent girls in Uganda, empowering girls in Nigeria, and addressing population ageing.
Kang Kyung-wha, Minister of Foreign Affairs
UNFPA has remained the Republic of Korea's main international partner in addressing sexual and reproductive health and rights, and the government hopes that its partnership with UNFPA will assist in improving access to essential reproductive, maternal, newborn and child health services as well as targeted services on gender-based violence in partner countries. The Republic of Korea also hopes that cooperation with UNFPA will further increase in the area of population policies, as UNFPA can offer recommendations as to policymaking and implementation based on its expert knowledge in the area.Kang Kyung-wha, Minister of Foreign Affairs
