The UNFPA Representation Office in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, operates under the Division Policy and Strategy Division (PSD) located at UNFPA Headquarters in New York. The Representation Office (RO) represents the Fund to the African Union (AU) and the Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA). In this multilateral space, the RO supports and facilitates the advancement of the AU's Agenda 2063 “The Africa We Want” and the sustainable development goals SDGs, Agenda 2030. It manages strategies related to inter-governmental processes relevant to UNFPA's mandate on the African continent and globally as they impact the continent. The work of the RO aims to achieve ensuring Sexual Reproductive Health and Rights for women, adolescents, and young people, data including population dynamics, averting harmful practices, as well as promoting gender equality. The RO contributes to strengthening the strategic positioning of UNFPA on the continent by gathering political support from the AUC and AU Member States in relation to the Programme of Action of the International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD PoA), thereby working in harmony with the UNFPA Regional Offices (ASRO, ESARO, and WCARO) in a “One Africa” Spirit, as well as with other UN entities.
