UN Volunteer Akiyo Nonogaki joined the UN Population Fund (UNFPA) in October 2020 as a Sexual and Reproductive Health Programme Officer. Her assignment was to support the response to COVID-19, but then the conflict in the Tigray region broke out. Akiyo reflects on how the unpredicted humanitarian crisis broadened her perspectives and strengthened her commitment to support the vulnerable. 

UNFPA has been active in Ethiopia since 1973 and is working with the government, UN entities and partners to improve sexual and reproductive health services, including family planning, emergency obstetric care and fistula treatment. The COVID-19 pandemic has placed significant pressure on health service delivery and compounded existing challenges in promoting gender equality and improving maternal health.
