United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA).
(2) Over one-half of the UNFPA’s assistance is
devoted to maternal and child health programs, in-
cluding the provision of family planning services,
and it is a major supplier of modern methods of con-
traception. UNFPA also supports efforts aimed at
preventing the spread of HIV/AIDS and other sexu-
ally-transmitted diseases and activities aimed specifi-
cally at enhancing the status of women.
(3) UNFPA does not fund abortion services,
rather, UNFPA seeks to reduce the incidence of
abortion by improving access to contraceptive serv-
ices and to reduce deaths and injuries related to un-
safe abortion by supporting treatment of women suf-
fering from its complications.
(4) Operating in over 130 nations in all regions
of the world and as a politically neutral source of
funds, UNFPA complements the important work of
the United States Agency for International Develop-
