Every year, the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), the UN's sexual and reproductive health agency, launches its flagship report, State of World Population.

The 2019 launch is scheduled for April 10 globally, with UNFPA headquarters, regional offices and country offices observing the occasion with events, online communications via social media and other ways to mark the important occasion.

This year's report coincides with the 50th anniversary of UNFPA's founding, as well as the 25th anniversary of the Programme of Action stemming from the 1994 International Conference on Population and Development, which guides UNFPA's work with sexual and reproductive health and rights at the centre.

The theme of the 2019 report will be shared with media and the wider public in due course.
