I am pleased to present the UNFPA Pacific 2024 Annual Report, showcasing our collective successes in championing sexual and reproductive health and rights throughout the Pacific. Even with the challenges of climate change and evolving demographics this past year, our focus remained steadfast on the well-being of women, girls, and young people.

 This report details the tangible outcomes of the UNFPA Pacific Sub-Regional Office's strategic leadership and technical support to 14 countries, further building on the programme achievements delivered by our country offices across the region.

 As we look to the future, we are committed to upholding our promises - striving for a future where every woman and girl can live with health and dignity, and with their rights upheld, no matter where they are.
