The Regional Communication Adviser post is placed in the Asia and the Pacific Regional Office (APRO). The adviser is a regional member of a global communication team. As a member of the APRO team, the adviser develops the regional work plan and prioritization of tasks in close collaboration with other colleagues in the APRO team and in consultation with the Division for Communication and Strategic Partnership (DCS) as needed.

UNFPA is the lead UN agency for delivering a world where every pregnancy is wanted, every childbirth is safe and every young person’s potential is fulfilled. UNFPA’s strategic plan (2022-2025), reaffirms the relevance of the current strategic direction of UNFPA and focuses on three transformative results: to end preventable maternal deaths; end unmet need for family planning; and end gender-based violence and harmful practices. These results capture our strategic commitments on accelerating progress towards realizing the ICPD and SDGs in the Decade of Action leading up to 2030. Our strategic plan calls upon UN Member States, organizations and individuals to “build forward better”, while addressing the negative impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic on women’s and girls’ access to sexual and reproductive health and reproductive rights, recover lost gains and realize our goals.
