In 2024, our world reached a crossroads. As we marked the 30th anniversary of the ICPD Programme of Action, UNFPA celebrated the incredible gains achieved globally for women and girls. At the same time, we took stock of the persistent challenges that continue to stall further progress. Over 10 million people globally benefited from reproductive health services, but many were left behind – especially the marginalized and those affected by crises. Since 1994, we have seen a decrease of 20 per cent in the world’s unmet need for family planning, but also the reversal of reproductive rights in some countries. And following the historic revenue seen in 2024, we started 2025 with a precipitous drop in financing across the aid system – even as needs are soaring. As the multilateral system deals with turbulence and needed reform, UNFPA and its partners are stepping up to the challenge. The world is at a turning point, and we are undeterred.
