"Amid prolonged conflicts, it's not uncommon for women to become the primary victims. I am grateful to Korea for lending strength to save their lives." Natalia Kanem, Executive Director of the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), expressed this sentiment during a March 6th meeting at the Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA) headquarters in Seongnam, Gyeonggi Province.

The Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA) has signed a new partnership with UNFPA, the United Nations sexual and reproductive health agency, to provide reproductive health and protection services and support to women and girls in six crisis-affected countries. UNFPA Executive Director Dr. Natalia Kanem is in Seoul to sign the new agreement with KOICA’s President, Mr. Chang Won Sam.

With financial support from #KOICA, UNFPA, in partnership with TECHNIDEV, has implemented a project to strengthen community resilience in areas at high risk of conflict.
