Communications & Knowledge Management

The India Country Office is now in its 10th Country Programme (CP-10). CP10 envisions an India where every woman and young person, including those from the most vulnerable groups, enjoys gender equality, fully realises sexual and reproductive health and reproductive rights, and fully contributes to sustainable development. Guided by the new UNFPA Strategic Plan, 20222025, the Programme of Action of the International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, the new country programme will galvanise efforts to end preventable maternal deaths, unmet need for family planning, and genderbased violence and harmful practices, including in humanitarian situations. The country programme was developed in consultation with national and State governments, civil society, United Nations organisations and other stakeholders, including women and youth-led organisations, based on the principles of inclusion, human rights and gender equality.
