Our Regional Office in Johannesburg, South Africa provides strategic support and technical expertize to colleagues in our 23 Country Offices and our partners who work on the ground to improve people’s lives. We provide policy advice, training and support.
UNFPA adopts a human rights-based approach throughout its work. This entails educating individuals and communities about their human rights, so that they can then demand the respect and basic services they are entitled to. This approach also involves empowering governments to fulfil these rights.
UNFPA amplifies its impact by empowering governments to deliver on their promises to women and young people. It accomplishes this by providing data and analysis to show where countries are falling short, by mobilizing resources and expertise, by advocating directly with government officials or in public forums and through training and monitoring.
UNFPA further expands the scope of its work by partnering with civil society, academic institutions and the private sector. UNFPA also works regularly with parliamentarians to review progress in implementing the ICPD Programme of Action.
