Message from the Country Representative:

Over the past five years, UNFPA Philippines proudly partnered with the Philippine government, legislators, development partners and civil society to advance the rights of women, girls, and youth. Guided by the Philippine Development Plan, UNFPA Strategic Plan and the 8th Country Programme for the Philippines, our journey has been one of shared commitment and unwavering dedication.

We are now releasing online a booklet that serves as a testament to the collective spirit that drives our work. It is a celebration of the progress we have made together, and a powerful reminder of the transformative potential that lies ahead. Let us continue to walk this path together for our next 9th Country Programme, building a future where every woman, girl, and young person can live with dignity, agency, and a sense of possibility.

— Dr. Leila Saiji Joudane, UNFPA Philippines Country Representative
