Our work
UNFPA has worked in Ecuador since 1979 to assure that every pregnancy is wanted, every childbirth is safe and every young person's potential is fulfilled.
The Country Program of 2019-2022 is the cooperation agreement established between UNFPA and the Ecuadorian Government. It is a product of the strategic and participatory prioritization of the most important needs and the challenges Ecuador face in order to ensure that its citizens have the opportunity to fully exercise their sexual and repoductive health rights and to live a life free of gender-based violence.
UNFPA supports the country in development and humanitarian contexts and the focus of action is in three main areas:
