We bid farewell to the Swedish Cooperation office, closing after 18 years in Juba, South Sudan
Sweden's commitment and significant contribution to @UNFPA 🇸🇸 Country Program to advancing SRHR has been the hallmark of their long-term partnership.
#PartnersAtCore
An honour to accompany the Canada Director of Dev, Garett Pratt, to the Juba Teaching Hospital, where we met midwifery & nursing students, tutors, and other partners, and also visited the One-stop-centre for survivors of GBV
Every day, about 800 women die around the world from preventable causes related to pregnancy & childbirth.
Most of these deaths are entirely preventable.
Making motherhood safer is a human rights imperative, & it's at the core of #UNFPA’s mandate.

With Maria-Lou Nahhas who acts on the series "Orange Is the New Black". She's visiting Ethiopia to support our efforts to end female genital cutting/mutilation. Thanks Maria for taking on this huge, yet fulfilling task
The UNFPA Ethiopia team in Ghana for the tripple commemoration of UNFPA50, ICPD25 and one of the founders of the ICPD, Prof Sai turning 95! Special moments
UNFPA team led by the Regional Director, Dr Julitta Onabanjo at the AU yesterday to pledge and reaffirm our support to, and partnership with Africa's youth
A thunderous applause from young people today as Dr Julitta Onabanjo, UNFPA Regional Director, ESA, moved to the podium to deliver a statement at the Pan African youth forum - - UNFPA relevant today as 50 years ago!
Grateful for a brief moment to laugh with fellow women at a refugee camp in Gambella recently. With support from Japan, UNFPA Ethiopia is able to support women and girls in this camp which hosts over 50,000 refugees
Visiting AWSAD Safe House with UNFPA Ethiopia team to commemorate Human Rights Day & 16 Days. I was impressed by the range of services. Sadly many more women/girls still don't have access to such services. My dream though, is of a world where we wouldn't need Safe Houses!
