Goal17: Partnership: UNFPA'S Approach for the transformation of Africa and the World

This publication, “GOAL 17: Partnership: UNFPA’s approach for the transformation of Africa and the world,” details UNFPA’s strategy. It aims to draw on the regional office’s experience and to highlight the various dimensions of partnership, to show how this can be a successful strategy. In its 50 years of work, UNFPA, which has always considered partnership to be a lever for strategic action, has learned great lessons. For example, in 2013, UNFPA committed to promoting South-South cooperation to achieve the MDGs.11 Poor performance in West and Central Africa led UNFPA to focus on developing partnerships to accelerate progress, even before the adoption of the SDGs in 2015.
