- Organizational Unit: UNFPA Arab State Regional Office /ASRO
- Duty Station: Cairo, Egypt

UNFPA Objectives
- The United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) promotes the right of every woman, man and child to enjoy a life of health and equal opportunity. UNFPA supports programme countries, through its Country Offices, 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, and every girl and woman is treated with dignity and respect.
- UNFPA makes critical contributions to promoting the broader gender equality agenda at global, regional and country levels using the complementarities of SDGs and ICPD as the entry point. The intersection between the SDGs and ICPD provide UNFPA with a particular responsibility for some specific aspects of gender equality and given the Fund’s expertise in this area in a number of countries, and within the context of the United Nations system collaboration and partnerships, UNFPA will continue making a significant contribution to furthering the resilience of women and girls, with specific focus on reproductive health and rights, within the areas of its comparative advantages and in response to country priorities and specificities. UNFPA adopts a human rights based approach to contribute as well as to capitalize on the demographic dividends to secure women’s and adolescent girls’ rights.
Organizational Setting
- The UNFPA-UNICEF Joint Programme on Female Genital Mutilation/Cutting (FGM/C) work jointly towards actively contributing to the accelerated abandonment of FGM/C, in specific areas of implementation within 17 countries, by 2012. The focus of the joint programme is to leverage social dynamics towards abandonment within selected communities that practice FGM/C. In December 2012, the 67th UN General Assembly adopted a new resolution, Intensifying global efforts for the elimination of female genital mutilations. The resolution calls for a common coordinated approach that promotes positive social change at the community, national, regional and international levels and, in line with this, also calls for the international community to strongly support, including through increased financial support, a second phase of the UNFPA-UNICEF Joint Programme. A Phase 2 of the Joint Programme will actively contribute to further scaling up the implementation and sustainability of the common coordinated approach that is yielding results toward ending the practice.
