Annual Report 2024
Annual Report 2024 World at a Crossroads
In 2024, our world reached a crossroads.
As we marked the 30th anniversary of the ICPD Programme of Action, UNFPA celebrated the incredible gains achieved globally for women and girls over the three decades since that landmark agreement. At the same time, we took stock of the persistent challenges that continue to stall further progress.
In other words, 2024 was a year of contrasts. Over 10 million people globally benefited from reproductive health services, but many were left behind – especially the marginalized and those affected by crises. In a remarkable show of political engagement, voters in more than 60 countries went to the polls – yet only five women were elected as heads of state out of 31 direct presidential elections held worldwide. Since 1994, we have seen a decrease of 20 per cent in the world’s unmet need for family planning, but also the reversal of reproductive rights in some countries.
We saw an acceleration of action on ending of the harmful practices of child marriage and female genital mutilation – yet the world also entered a moment of stark precarity. More than 123 million people around the world were forcibly displaced in 2024, with more and more women and girls living through armed conflicts and being subjected to sexual violence as a weapon of war. In many regions, women’s rights are increasingly being politicized, threatening the significant and life-changing progress that has been achieved under the auspices of international frameworks. And following the historic revenue seen in 2024, we started 2025 with a precipitous drop in financing across the aid system – even as needs are soaring. The vulnerabilities women and girls face only intensified in 2024, and are now spilling into 2025, amid this depleted funding environment.
As the multilateral system deals with turbulence and needed reform, UNFPA and its partners are stepping up to the challenge. The world is at a turning point, and we are undeterred. With our partners, we are more determined than ever to navigate through this crossroads to continue delivering for women and girls, everywhere.
