Strategic Partnerships

Successful sustainable development requires dynamic and inclusive strategic partnerships that involve a variety of stakeholders.

Strategic partnerships, which advance the work and position the brand of UNFPA, are inspired by the drive for tangible results under the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

Support from our partners allows us to invest in long-term projects around the world and in emergency humanitarian settings. Each of our collaborations with partners are uniquely positioned to help us achieve our transformative results in an innovative and inclusive manner.

We work with academia, corporate partners, philanthropy, civil society and parliamentarians to develop ideas that make best user of their time, expertise, resources and donations.

How we partner

Our partnerships traditionally fall into four models:

  • Resource mobilization - to cultivate a robust and differentiated portfolio of donors supporting UNFPA programmes and contributing to organizational sustainability, from financial support to the donation of goods and services

  • Innovation - to harness the expertise and talent of our partner organizations, including academic institutions, to contribute to new solutions

  • Reach - to galvanize broad endorsement and visibility of UNFPA as the leading UN agency working to preserve and improve the health and well-being of all people

  • Alliances - to build political and financial support for the ICPD Programme of Action and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by partnering with civil society organizations and parliamentarians (CSOs)
