HRP annual report 2022

Overview

For over 50 years, the UNDP-UNFPA-UNICEF-WHO-World Bank Special Programme of Research, Development and Research Training in Human Reproduction (HRP) has been providing leadership on sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR).

Working collaboratively with partners across the world, HRP shapes global thinking on SRHR. We conduct large-scale, high-impact research, inform WHO norms and standards, support research capacity-strengthening in low- and middle-income settings, and facilitate the development and uptake of new information and innovations – including clinical and behavioural interventions, digital technologies, and new medicines and devices. An ethical, human rights-based approach that aims to strengthen gender equality and dismantle structural inequities is integrated throughout our work. HRP shares the WHO vision of the right of every single person across the globe to attain the highest possible standard of sexual and reproductive health. We strive for a world where human rights that enable sexual and reproductive health are safeguarded, and where all people have access to quality and affordable sexual and reproductive health information and services.
