HeDPAC is a health development platform that primarily works with like-minded governments, particularly in Africa and the Caribbean regions, to forge South-South partnerships that address pressing health challenges and achieve universal health coverage. Its initial establishment as an initiative within the Headquarters of the World Health Organisation was based on the valuable lessons harvested during the Covid 19 pandemic and its disproportionate impact on the two regions.

UNFPA is the United Nations sexual and reproductive health agency, working to uphold the rights and choices of women, girls and young people across more than 150 countries. Through our work, we ensure that every pregnancy is wanted, every childbirth is safe, and every young person can fulfil their potential.

UNDP works in about 170 countries and territories, helping to eradicate poverty, reduce inequalities and exclusion, and build resilience so countries can sustain progress. As the UN’s development agency, UNDP plays a critical role in helping countries achieve the Sustainable Development Goals.
