Partnerships with other UN agencies have become increasingly significant instruments to finance UNFPA’s Strategic Plan and to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals with more cohesion and coordination.
SCROLL
UNFPA has a critical role within the UN system to accelerate the implementation of the Programme of Action of the International Conference on Population and Development and to achieve the three transformative results by 2030: ending the unmet need for family planning, ending preventable maternal deaths and ending gender-based violence and harmful practices.
The UN system is facing unprecedented challenges. Climate change, the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, increasing inequality and armed conflicts are placing exceptional demands on the multilateral system.
The interconnected and interdisciplinary nature of the Sustainable Development Goals calls for a collective approach by the UN system to bring together agency-specific mandates for coordinated joint policy and programmatic support.
UNFPA is committed to the Secretary-General’s plans on the Reform of the UN Development System, which places importance on multilateral finances. In line with the United Nations reforms, UNFPA works closely with other UN agencies to support joint monitoring and evaluation of the United Nations Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework and other inter-agency processes. Increasing the focus on joint accountability improves system-wide coherence and collaboration to deliver on the strategic plan. Through working together with sister agencies to implement development rollout, UNFPA adds value to the greater UN system while accelerating the ICPD agenda during the Decade of Action.
United Nations pooled funds, joint programmesand other UN funding arrangements continue to represent a growing portion of UNFPA non-core resources and an integral part of UNFPA’s funding architecture. Revenue coming from UN sources has seen a significant increase in the past years, recognizing that the 2030 Agenda requires integrated joint delivery and collaboration to bring added value at the global and local level. In 2022, contributions from the UN system represented $217 million USD to UNFPA.
Through Joint Programmes, Multi-Donor Trust Funds and other funding arrangements, UNFPA works especially closely with UNICEF, UN Women, UNDP and others to deliver on the Sustainable Development Goals and the 2030 Agenda.
