ABOUT DIENE KEITA
I am the Executive Director of the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) and Under-Secretary-General of the United Nations. Since my appointment in August 2025, my focus has been to mobilize action and partnerships to accelerate progress on ending preventable maternal deaths, ending the unmet need for family planning, and ending gender-based violence and harmful practices. I also champion UNFPA’s role in advancing demographic resilience, helping countries harness population dynamics to secure a more prosperous, equitable and sustainable future.Throughout my career, I have dedicated my efforts to advancing human dignity and inclusive development. From serving as Guinea’s Minister of International Cooperation and African Integration, to leading UNDP programmes in fragile contexts, to my tenure as UNFPA Deputy Executive Director, I have consistently worked to forge partnerships, mobilize resources, and deliver results for women, girls and young people everywhere.I hold a Doctorate in international Law, from the University of Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne.
