Delivering in a Pandemic

Publication date: 2021

DELIVERING IN A PANDEMIC ANNUAL REPORT 2020 In 2020, UNFPA witnessed the greatest humanitarian crisis since the organization’s creation 52 years ago: the COVID-19 pandemic. This public health catastrophe brought with it socioeconomic, political and human rights crises, doubling the global need for humanitarian assistance from the previous year. Women and girls bore many of the worst impacts. We saw this in our work. Health systems were strained. Supply chains were disrupted. Many programmes and services were driven to a halt. Globally, a United Nations survey found 7 in 10 countries experienced disruptions in contraceptive services. UNFPA offices reported stark increases in domestic violence cases and calls for help amid lockdowns and movement restrictions. Disrupted services and increased vulnerabilities are projected to result in 2 million more cases of female genital mutilation and an additional 13 million child marriages within the next decade that would otherwise have been averted. But UNFPA rose to the challenge. With ingenuity and flexibility, we ramped up distribution of personal protective equipment and training in infectious disease control. Many disrupted programmes and services were restored, and 74 per cent of UNFPA programme countries were able to maintain or expand family planning services at the community level. Ninety-one per cent maintained or expanded interventions to prevent gender-based violence. The crisis is far from over. We know the road ahead will be long and hard. But we also know that we can deliver progress even amid world-shaking adversity. With solidarity and support, we can transform the future for women and girls. THE YEAR IN REVIEW THE COVID-19 RESPONSE Source: UNFPA COVID-19 response survey, December 2020 The pandemic has had a devastating impact on health systems. More than 17,000 health workers died from COVID-19 over the course of 2020. Massive health resources and many personnel were diverted from routine essential care to support the pandemic response. UNFPA projects 12 million women across 115 low- and middle- income countries experienced contraceptive service disruptions, and 42 per cent of UNFPA programme countries reported facility-level disruptions in family planning services. Some also reported declines in institutional deliveries. Under these extreme circumstances, UNFPA worked to maintain continuity of sexual and reproductive health care, and to safeguard those providing this life-saving work. UNFPA mobilized $94.8 million in additional resources to support the pandemic response, more than a quarter of which came from United Nations entities. With this, nearly a half million health workers were trained to respond to the pandemic, personal protective equipment was delivered to more than 100 countries, and programmes pivoted to restore, sustain or expand sexual and reproductive health services. 478,000 health workers trained in 61 countries to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic 2.5 MILLION migrants, internally displaced persons and refugees who received sexual and reproductive health services $29 MILLION worth of personal protective equipment was delivered to 102 countries 3,350 women’s organizations empowered in 70 countries to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic 506,000 gender-based violence survivors who received mental health and psychosocial support services 640,422 women who received sexual and reproductive health services in humanitarian settings 1,503 youth organizations empowered in 66 countries to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic *Global impact of contraceptives supplied by UNFPA Despite UNFPA realigning nearly a third of its activities to better respond to the pandemic, results from 2020 showed a positive trend in achieving its strategic plan outputs compared to 2019. UNFPA family planning programmes helped prevent over 14 million unintended pregnancies, nearly 40,000 maternal deaths, and more than 4 million unsafe abortions last year. These figures reflect the agile response UNFPA was able to summon. As we look forward, UNFPA’s programming will have to remain robust and adaptive to the volatile public health and economic conditions around the world. 39,098 maternal deaths averted* 367,000 new HIV
