Guided by the new UNFPA Strategic Plan, 2022 2025, the Programme of Action of the International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, the new country programme will galvanize efforts to end preventable maternal deaths, unmet need for family planning, and gender based violence and harmful practices.

The country programme responds to the national priorities articulated by the Royal Government of Bhutan in its 13th Five-Year Plan and contributes to the achievement of the strategic objective of ‘Bhutan has a Healthy and Productive Society founded on Equitable and High-Quality Health Education and Social Protection.
