Germany’s strong leadership on multilateralism and for safeguarding #SRHR stands tall globally. Great meeting Minister H.E. Reem Alabali Radovan of @BMZ_Bund in #Berlin. We discussed our joint priorities, including @UNFPA’s work on demographic resilience & innovating financing.

Despite a stark shortfall in humanitarian funding, @UNFPA delivered life-saving reproductive health care to over 2.3 million people in the first three months of 2026. Help us continue to deliver with efficiency, agility and under pressure: unf.pa/HAO26 #GlobalHealth

A massive win for maternal health! 🇧🇩 Bangladesh just committed to deploying 25,000 midwives by 2030. As the world faces a 1-million-midwife shortage, this is a key investment to save lives. Learn more about @UNFPA’s journey with @BDMOFA since 2010: unf.pa/uwb
