Demographic change is reshaping countries. To thrive, comprehensive financing can create the enabling environments that people deserve. Our Regional Conference in Skopje starts with a clear message: beyond abstract numbers, we need intentional investment in human capital.
Today is the International Day of the #Midwife.
In The Gambia, midwife Jainaba Sanneh helps bring 30 babies safely into the world each month. Read how support from #ChinaAid & @UNFPA has helped midwives deliver safe, dignified care 🇨🇳🇬🇲🇺🇳https://t.co/F8djImfJBi @cidcaofficial
Throughout my years at @UNFPA, I have met many midwives: all courageous, indispensable & inspiring.
Around the world, they save the lives of mothers & newborns.
Yet, the world needs 1 million more of them.
On this #DayOfTheMidwife, join me in supporting their life-saving work.
Nearly 1 in 6 persons around the world lives with a disability.
Yet, most health systems were not designed with them in mind.
That is a gap we need to bridge.
At @UNFPA, we are clear: disability-inclusive healthcare is not optional if we want to #LeaveNoOneBehind.
553 million people, one mission: from maternal health breakthroughs to the power of our youth, we are moving beyond traditional aid to empowerment, investing in the potential of every individual across the region. Strategic, agile, and future-ready, these are our leaders in WCA!
Pleased to meet with delegates of Partners in Population and Development (PPD), including Executive Director Prof. Joseph Adelegan.
Grateful for their revitalized efforts to advance the #ICPD agenda through South-South and Triangular Cooperation (#SSTC).

Honoured to meet with H.E. Muhammed B.S. Jallow, Vice-President of The Gambia.
Grateful for his steadfast leadership in championing maternal and newborn health.
@UNFPA is committed to implementing the visionary roadmap to reduce maternal deaths across the country.
@hausaolori I am so sorry for your loss. May Allah grant him eternal rest in Jannatul Firdaus and give you and your family the heart and fortitude to bear this irreparable loss.
Losing a parent is one of the most painful things in this duniya. May Allah make it easy for you 🙏
