WomenX Collective:
The Innovation and Transformation Branch, plays a pivotal role in guiding UNFPA towards a future of heightened efficiency, impact, and relevance, by shaping and executing strategic initiatives through cultivating innovation. Through the Equalizer, UNFPA Accelerator Fund, UNFPA’s Innovation and Transformation Branch leverages innovation, research, and technology to deliver at the scale and pace needed to achieve its transformative results by 2030. Against this backdrop, UNFPA established the WomenX Collective to advance innovation, research and investment in women’s health. This initiative aims to close the gap in women’s health solutions by enhancing partnerships and mobilizing resources and financing for scaling evidence-driven solutions. . The WomenX Collective seeks to address women's unmet health needs in low- and middle-income countries by linking global solutions with local capabilities, ensuring sustainable impact. It emphasizes utilizing knowledge and expertise from UNFPA program countries to foster international collaborations focused on improving women's and girls' health and well-being.
