How they approach the work
Named approaches extracted from this org’s sources. Where others share an approach, follow it to see the full set of orgs running it.
- Client-Choice Model in Family Planningmethodology: client-choice_family_planningBy offering a full range of contraceptive options, women can choose methods that align with their health and life goals, increasing autonomy and sustained use, because choice enhances dignity and personal agency in reproductive decision-making.
- Comprehensive Sexuality Education for Informed Decision-Makingmethodology: comprehensive_sexuality_educationBy providing comprehensive sexuality education, individuals gain knowledge about their bodies and reproductive health, enabling informed and autonomous life choices, because education is foundational to exercising reproductive rights.
- Grassroots Advocacy for U.S. Policy Influencemethodology: grassroots_advocacyBy mobilizing U.S. public support and advocacy, we influence American policy and funding decisions to advance global sexual and reproductive health, because sustained political will and financial commitment from the U.S. government are essential for scaling UNFPA’s global impact.
- Survivor-Centered Care in Humanitarian Crisesmethodology: survivor-centered_careBy delivering survivor-centered services during emergencies, we prevent gender-based violence and ensure access to integrated care, because trauma-informed, holistic support improves recovery and empowers survivors to reclaim agency.
- Unrestricted Funding for Timely Crisis Responsemethodology: unrestricted_funding_allocationBy directing unrestricted donations to areas of greatest need, especially underreported emergencies, we ensure rapid delivery of sexual and reproductive health care, because flexibility allows UNFPA to respond where needs are most urgent and overlooked.
