Usage notes
It began operations in 1969 as the UN Fund for Population Activities and kept the acronym after its 1987 renaming. US funding has repeatedly been cut by Republican administrations under the Kemp-Kasten amendment, citing claims about China's population policies, which the agency disputes. It publishes the annual State of World Population report.
