 ~Preet The United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) just released its flagship State of World Population Report 2022, titled "Seeing the Unseen: The Case for Action in the Neglected Crisis of Unintended Pregnancy." The United Nations Population Fund is a UN General Assembly subsidiary that acts as a sexual and reproductive health institution. The Economic and Social Council of the United Nations (ECOSOC) determines its mandate. It was created in 1967 as a trust fund and began operating in 1969. The United Nations Population Fund was formally renamed in 1987, although the previous term, 'UNFPA' for the United Nations Fund for Population Activities, was kept. UNFPA works directly to address the SDGs for health (SDG3), education (SDG4), and gender equality (SDG5) (SDG5). UNFPA is exclusively funded by voluntary contributions from donor governments, international organisations, the business sector, foundations, and individuals, rather than the UN budget.
