What UNFPA Perú does

UNFPA Perú is the Peru country office of the United Nations Population Fund, an intergovernmental UN agency operating under a UN mandate to advance sexual and reproductive health, gender equality, and population dynamics. Headquartered in Lima since 1972, the office engages in technical cooperation, policy advocacy, and programmatic partnerships with Peru's Ministry of Health, Ministry of Women, the National Institute of Statistics and Informatics (INEI), and a coalition of civil society organizations including Manuela Ramos, CHIRAPAQ, Flora Tristán, PROMSEX, and CARE Peru. The office is led by Representative Hugo González Coltrinari and operates under the strategic oversight of UNFPA's Latin America and Caribbean Regional Office, headed by Regional Director Susana Sottoli.

UNFPA Perú does not develop or sell proprietary technology products. Its portfolio consists of advocacy projects, policy-guidance publications, awareness campaigns, and demographic analysis products such as the 'Notas técnicas demográficas' microsite, the 'Masculinidades por la Igualdad' municipal guide, and the 'El futuro empieza ahora' pregnancy-prevention campaign. The flagship programmatic offering is 'Liberando su potencial: Avanzamos Todas,' a multi-year project (April 2024 – March 2031) funded by the Government of Canada and targeting 160,000 girls, adolescents, and young women aged 10–29 across Ayacucho, Piura, and San Juan de Lurigancho, with 38% of beneficiaries drawn from indigenous, Afro-Peruvian, and disability populations.

The organization operates a non-commercial revenue model funded by voluntary contributions from UN member states and bilateral donors rather than by product sales or fees. UNFPA Perú's go-to-market is policy-led and partnership-driven, combining technical cooperation with government institutions, capacity-building with civil society, and direct programmatic implementation in target regions. Revenue and budget figures for the Peru country office are not publicly disclosed.

Core offering

UNFPA Perú is the country office of the United Nations Population Fund in Peru. It delivers technical cooperation, programmatic interventions, and knowledge products in three core areas: sexual and reproductive health (including maternal health, contraception, and adolescent pregnancy prevention), gender equality and the elimination of gender-based violence, and population dynamics (demographic data, census support, and public policy advice). It works primarily with Peruvian government ministries, subnational governments, and civil society organizations to translate the ICPD Programme of Action into national policy and programs.

Product overview

UNFPA Perú operates as the United Nations Population Fund country office, functioning as a public health and gender equality advocacy organization rather than a technology product company. Its portfolio consists primarily of advocacy projects, policy guidance publications, and awareness campaigns focused on sexual and reproductive health, gender equality, and population dynamics. The flagship initiative is 'Liberando su potencial: Avanzamos Todas,' a multi-year project (2024-2031) supported by the Government of Canada targeting girls, adolescents, and young women in vulnerable regions. The organization also produces technical publications including guides on masculinities and gender equality for municipal governments, demographic analysis tools, and public awareness campaigns. These offerings are educational/policy-oriented rather than software-based products.
