UNFPA Iran Spearheads Comprehensive Mapping of Reproductive Health in Disaster Plans
In a groundbreaking effort to address the critical public health needs of women and girls during disasters and emergencies, the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) Iran has supported a comprehensive mapping initiative. The study, which reviews national, provincial, and key health authorities' disaster plans, aims to evaluate the incorporation of Reproductive Health (RH) services in emergency responses.
Major disasters and emergencies can have profound effects on public health, health infrastructure, and the delivery of healthcare services to affected populations. Recognizing the vulnerability of women and girls in such situations, the study sheds light on their increased risks, including unintended pregnancies, maternal deaths and disabilities, gender-based violence (GBV), unsafe abortions, sexually transmitted infections (STIs), HIV, and psychosocial issues.

United Nations Population Fund, 7th Country Programme Document for the Islamic Republic of Iran (2023-2027)
The new country programme, 2023-2027, is guided by the UNFPA Strategic Plan, 2022-2025, and will be executed to support the realization of the objectives of the national plans and priorities of the Islamic Republic of Iran, as discussed in the context of the upcoming seventh National Development Plan and the UNSDCF, 2023-2027. It is also aligned with the ICPD Programme of Action and relevant international instruments. The country programme uses an evidence-based approach, drawing baseline information from the joint United Nations analysis in the lead-up to the UNSDCF, the population situation analysis and a series of thematic analyses conducted to provide a strong-evidence base for its design.
The UNSDCF places the country’s demographic changes and its impact on the economy under the socioeconomic resilience and public health pillars. A call for harnessing the demographic dividend – including developing the skills of young people, improving women’s economic participation, and adapting and responding to rapid population ageing – are firmly embedded in the background analysis.
