Description and Table of Contents

Description

The International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) was held in Cairo in 1994, during which 179 states adopted the Programme of Action on population and development. This landmark 20-year strategy highlighted the integral linkages between population, development and poverty, focusing on the reproductive needs of individual men and women rather than on achieving broad demographic targets. It also recognised the need to empower women and an important end in itself and as a key to improve overall quality of life. One of the major goals of the Programme of Action is to make family planning services universally available as part of a broader approach to reproductive health and rights.
