United Nations Population Fund
The United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), is an international development agency that promotes the right of every woman, man and child to enjoy a life of health and equal opportunity. UNFPA supports countries in using population data for policies and programmes to reduce poverty and to ensure that every pregnancy is wanted, every birth is safe, every young person is free of HIV/AIDS, and every girl and woman is treated with dignity and respect.
In 1997 the IFPA was granted ‘Collaborating NGO' status by the UNFPA and since then we have worked productively with the organisation by, amongst other things, hosting and organising the Irish launch of the UNFPA's annual flagship report State of the World Population Report.
Each year the report includes a list of demographic, social and economic indicators giving special attention to indicators that can help track country process in meeting the goals of the International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) and the Millenium Development Goals (MDGs).
