UNCT | Georgia

UNFPA, whose central objective is to address the reproductive health concerns of the population, began rendering assistance to Georgia in 1993 with a contraceptives distribution project.

UNFPA established its full-fledged country office in Georgia in 1999 and expanded its operations by funding programmes and independent projects focussed on Reproductive Health.

UNFPA’s activities and programmes are country-specific and tailored to meet Georgia’s needs in the area of reproductive health, population and development and gender through addressing topical aspects ranging from the quality and accessibility of reproductive health services to gender equality and the availability of quality data for development.

UNFPA, the United Nations Population Fund, is an international development agency that promotes the right of every woman, man and child to enjoy a life of health and equal opportunity. UNFPA supports countries in using population data for policies and programmes to reduce poverty and to ensure that every pregnancy is wanted, every birth is safe, every young person is free of HIV/AIDS, and that every girl and woman is treated with dignity and respect.

UNFPA supports the Georgian government in the implementation of the ICPD Programme of Action and Millennium Development Goals, which lay the foundation for improved reproductive health, poverty reduction and the economic empowerment of the population.

UNFPA’s Country Office in Tbilisi provides assistance to Georgia through supporting programmes in the field of reproductive health and rights, population and development and gender.
