The Ghana UNFPA Country Office (CO), is currently implementing the Government of Ghana/UNFPA Sixth Country Programme (GoG/UNFPA CP6), which began in January 2012 and will end in December 2017. In line with UNFPA policies and procedures the CO in partnership with government is required to develop a new GoG/UNFPA country programme to cover the years 2018-2022. The development of the 7th GoG/UNFPA country program comes at a time when the global community is transitioning from one global development agenda (MDGs) to another - the Sustainable Development Goals (Agenda 2030). At the same time, the African Union (AU) has expressed its position on the “Future we want for Africa” in its epic Agenda 2063. These global and regional frameworks call for approaches that spell out how UNFPA should effectively learn from the lessons of the past, build on the progress now underway and strategically exploit all possible opportunities available in the immediate and medium term to ensure attainment of its strategic goal universal access to sexual and reproductive health and rights to accelerate progress on the ICPD agenda.
