Denmark’s Engagement with UNFPA

United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) is responsible for the implementation of the programme of action from the 1994 International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) and its core mandate thus covers issues of sexual and reproductive health and rights, preventing sexual and gender-based violence, demographic resilience and access to family planning. The promotion of sexual and reproductive health and right is a key priority in Denmark’s Strategy for Development Cooperation and Humanitarian Action: Strategy - The World We Share, and for this reason, UNFPA is a key partner in Denmark's efforts toward achieving the 2030 Agenda and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

UNFPA is the world’s largest international source of funding for population and reproductive health programmes. Denmark sees UNFPA as an important actor in providing data and analyses that support and expand evidence-based advocacy for sexual and reproductive health and rights programmes and policies. On the humanitarian agenda, UNFPA also works in accordance with Danish priorities preventing gender-based violence and providing sexual and reproductive health services in areas of conflict and crisis.

Denmark is currently among the top donors to UNFPA. Denmark's engagement with UNFPA is anchored in the Multilateral Partnership Agreement between Denmark and UNFPA for the period 2023-2025.
