Annual Report 2022
Annual report 2022 A year of extremes
2022 was a "year of extremes". The world witnessed the highest number of violent conflicts since 1945, with more than 103 million people forcibly displaced worldwide. The COVID-19 pandemic continued to disrupt economies, education and health systems, and the global climate catastrophe spiralled further out of control, with heat waves, droughts, floods and other disasters affecting billions. Additionally, economic inequalities grew alarmingly, with 75 million to 95 million more people living in extreme poverty in 2022 compared to pre-pandemic levels. These conditions have pushed the world off track in its efforts to achieve, by 2030, universal health coverage, gender equality and other essential targets of the Sustainable Development Goals. Women and young people continue to bear the brunt of the consequences.
UNFPA rose to the challenge despite these multiple and overlapping crises. The organization scaled up its humanitarian support to provide life-saving services to over 30 million women and young people in 60 emergencies around the world. UNFPA sounded the alarm over stagnating progress in reducing maternal death in 133 countries during the period from 2016 to 2020. And despite the twin economic constraints of inflation and rising energy costs, UNFPA continued to mobilize resources for sexual and reproductive health and rights, including by securing commitments from Governments and by leveraging partnerships and new funding mechanisms. Such efforts offered a lifeline amid the intensifying threats of populism and pushback against gender equality and reproductive rights.
But the year was not simply one of extreme hardship; 2022 also saw remarkable signs of progress. Perhaps most notably, the human population reached 8 billion, the result of historic advances in medicine, science, nutrition, public health and more. Many countries made strides in protecting reproductive health and rights; a historic international agreement called for accountability in addressing climate change; and the global chorus of communities calling for racial, gender and reproductive justice gathered momentum. UNFPA was able to deepen in its support for women-led, youth-led and feminist community organizations and social enterprises. Additionally, progress was made in integrating sexual and reproductive health into national policies and development frameworks, and in the scale-up of interventions to address harmful gender and social norms. Some 6.4 million marginalized adolescent girls were empowered through UNFPA-supported programmes, and youth-led initiatives to prevent maternal mortality, end unmet need for family planning and end gender-based violence were supported in 88 countries, a testament to the tireless labour and leadership of UNFPA’s staff and partners around the world.

Regional Results
In 2022, the vision and leadership of UNFPA’s regional and country offices continued to yield significant results despite the rising challenges seen worldwide. Sub-Saharan Africa experienced the largest increase in the percentage of demand for family planning satisfied by modern methods of contraception, growing by 3.6 percentage points between 2017 and 2022. The same period saw Central and Southern Asia report the highest rate of decline in unmet need for family planning. Offices in Latin America and the Caribbean saw strengthened engagement with indigenous communities, Afrodescendants and youth in high-level dialogues and fora. Multiple centres of excellence in the West and Central Africa region raised standards for the provision of family planning technology, menstrual hygiene management and support for gender equality. UNFPA deepened its support to community-based, women-driven organizations, for example through its partnerships with women’s groups addressing gender-based violence in humanitarian emergencies in the Arab States region. And new technologies greatly expanded the reach of essential services, including through the training of some 200,000 midwives and front-line health workers via virtual platforms in the East and Southern Africa region. Still, with progress in reducing maternal mortality stalling globally, and even reversing in some places, accelerated and intensified action is needed across all spheres.

UNFPA is funded from voluntary contributions that fall into two distinct categories:
1 These amounts represent contributions received in 2022 for core resources. Due to policy change, in 2023, UNFPA will report on payments received. Core contributions (also referred to as "regular", "unearmarked" or "unrestricted" contributions), represent resources that are unrestricted as to their use;
2 Non-core contributions (also referred to as "other", "earmarked" or "restricted" contributions), represent resources that are earmarked as to their use. The amounts represent contribution revenue for trust funds. They include multi-year co-financing agreements which were recognized in 2022, in accordance with UNFPA accounting policies. Programme implementation continues to be linked to actual receipt of resources.
