UNFPA MALI

UNFPA is the United Nations lead agency for sexual and reproductive health issues. Our mission is to create a world in which every pregnancy is desired and every birth is safe. A world in which every young person fully realizes their potential. This channel will be used to share content from UNFPA Mali.

Active in Mali since 1973, UNFPA develops programs to improve the quality of reproductive and sexual health services. With almost half of the population under the age of 15, UNFPA support targets hard-to-reach groups and adolescents in particular. Contraceptive prevalence is low and maternal mortality high. UNFPA also contributes to the development of reliable demographic data and advocates for respect for human rights and gender equality, including by abandoning female genital mutilation / cutting and all forms of gender-based violence.
