The unmet need for family planning has dropped by
about half since 1969, the year UNFPA was established.
At the same time in developing countries, the share of
married women using a modern method of contraception
since that time has nearly tripled, to about 57 per cent.

While progress towards reducing the
maternal mortality ratio in developing
countries continued
in 2018, it is not at the rate required to achieve
the UNFPA goal of zero preventable maternal
deaths by 2030. To reach that goal, developing
countries must accelerate their annual rates of
reduction by at least
7.5per cent.

AFRICA, EAST AND SOUTHERN
Of the 85,000 preventable maternal deaths in East and Southern Africa every year, about one quarter are
among adolescents and more than half take place in humanitarian settings. UNFPA in 2018 helped reduce
preventable maternal deaths in the region through greater access to emergency obstetric care; antenatal,
safe-delivery and postnatal care; and modern contraception. Actions included training midwives in 16
countries to provide high- quality, integrated, reproductive, maternal, neonatal, child and adolescent health
care. Actions also included collection and analysis of maternal mortality data to identify—and fill—gaps
in services.
UNFPA aimed to reduce the unmet demand for family planning, especially among young people and
marginalized populations, by improving the quality and reliability of services and by offering a range of
contraceptive options.
UNFPA programmes in 2018 advanced gender equality and women’s empowerment and addressed the
physical and psychological impact of gender-based violence.

AFRICA, WEST AND CENTRAL
UNFPA scaled up services to help girls in West and Central Africa make a safe and healthy transition from
adolescence to adulthood. Through a Sahel Women’s Empowerment and Demographic Dividend, or
SWEDD, project, UNFPA expanded safe spaces for girls who are not in school and at risk of the harmful
practice of child marriage. A demographic dividend is the additional potential for economic growth that can
result from shifts in a population’s age structure when the share of the working-age population expands
relative to the non-working-age population.
Also as part of the SWEDD project, UNFPA supported a new programme to train midwives and nurses
with the aim of reducing preventable maternal deaths. Three new Centres of Excellence for the Masters in
Nursing and Obstetrics were established in Côte d'Ivoire, Mali and Niger.
UNFPA, through the Ouagadougou Partnership to end unmet need for family planning in nine West
African countries, helped 1.4 million women gain access to modern contraception between 2016
and 2018.

the coverage of high-quality, reliable and stigma-free services across the region.

ASIA AND THE PACIFIC
UNFPA in Asia and the Pacific stepped up efforts in 2018 to end unmet need for family planning,
preventable maternal deaths and gender-based violence and harmful practices against women
and girls.
UNFPA strengthened programmes to reduce preventable maternal death in countries with higher
maternal mortality ratios, contributing to reaching targets under the Sustainable Development Goals by
2030. These countries are Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Cambodia, Lao People’s Democratic Republic, Myanmar,
Nepal, Pakistan, Papua New Guinea and Timor-Leste.
To help meet the goal of ending unmet need for family planning, UNFPA advocated for increased
investments in contraceptives and for programmes that enhance reproductive rights in lower-income
countries, such as Cambodia and the Lao People’s Democratic Republic.
Under the multi-year “kNOwVAWdata” initiative, UNFPA supported the collection, analysis and communication
of data about the prevalence of violence against women in the region and created a curriculum to train
enumerators in carrying out surveys that protect women’s privacy. In addition, UNFPA increased support for
programmes to end the harmful practice of child marriage in South Asia.

EASTERN EUROPE
AND CENTRAL ASIA
In Eastern Europe and Central Asia, UNFPA helped countries make progress towards reaching zero unmet need
for family planning and zero preventable maternal deaths. But emphasis was placed on ending gender-based
violence, which prevents women and girls from enjoying their rights, including reproductive rights.
In 2018, UNFPA joined an initiative led by the Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe to
generate, for the first time in the region, comparable data on violence against women and girls. The survey
revealed that 70 per cent of women had been subjected to some form of violence, and one in three had
experienced physical or sexual violence.
UNFPA stepped up efforts to assist the countries of the region in establishing systems that bring together health
care, law enforcement and criminal justice to support survivors, and to strengthen services in humanitarian
settings. UNFPA also worked across the region to help prevent violence through programmes that raised
awareness and promoted behaviour change.
UNFPA also helped engage men and boys in preventing violence, but also more broadly in achieving gender
equality, through programmes such as the “Let’s Talk!” campaign, which challenges taboos around
women’s health, and through gender-sensitive policies that allow both parents to have careers and share
household and care responsibilities.

LATIN AMERICA AND THE CARIBBEAN
Maternal and neonatal mortality rates have decreased in Latin America and the Caribbean but access to
quality care is still out of reach for many pregnant women. In response, UNFPA supported evidence-based
interventions that improved the quality of maternal health care, especially in the prevention and
management of obstetric complications and emergencies. UNFPA also helped strengthen midwifery
training programmes.
UNFPA supported the region’s efforts to end unmet need for family planning by increasing supplies of
contraceptives and bolstering capacities to procure and manage supplies of contraceptives and monitor
quality. UNFPA also supported the introduction of subdermal implants in four countries.
In collaboration with national stakeholders and partner organizations, UNFPA helped improve
coordination of services for survivors of gender-based violence among the health and criminal justice
sectors.
