UNFPA

UNFPA was established in 1969 and operates as a UN system fund, funded entirely by voluntary contributions from governments and private donors. It works across three transformative results: ending preventable maternal deaths, ending unmet need for family planning, and ending GBV and harmful practices. UNFPA leads or co-leads the GBV sub-cluster under the Global Protection Cluster in humanitarian settings worldwide.

UNFPA has been one of the most consistently engaged UN agencies in Ukraine since 2022, scaling up rapidly to meet SRH and GBV needs created by displacement, facility damage, and access constraints. Key activities include procuring and distributing reproductive health supplies (including safe delivery kits and contraception), supporting maternity hospitals and SRH service points in frontline areas, funding GBV case management and psychosocial support, and coordinating the SRH working group within the Health Cluster. UNFPA Ukraine is a key coordination partner and potential co-funder for CARE’s SRH and GBV programming under GFFO.

The United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) is the UN’s lead agency for sexual and reproductive health, family planning, and humanitarian response to GBV and obstetric emergencies. It works in over 150 countries to ensure universal access to reproductive health care, supports skilled birth attendants, and leads the GBV sub-cluster in humanitarian settings.

Ukraine Commitment

UNFPA Ukraine is one of the most operationally active UN agencies in-country, co-leading the GBV sub-cluster and Health Cluster SRH working group, distributing dignity kits and SRH supplies, supporting maternity facilities, and funding partners including NGOs to deliver integrated SRH and GBV services across conflict-affected oblasts.
