Press Release
Ten Years on, UNFPA Reports Uneven Progress in Implementing Landmark Population and Development Consensus
Funding Gap Imperils Efforts to Reduce Maternal Deaths, Prevent HIV/AIDS and Ensure Reproductive Rights
http://www.unfpa.org/swp/2004/presskit/docs/release1.doc
LONDON - Countries have made impressive progress in carrying out a bold action plan that links poverty alleviation to womens rights and reproductive health, emphasizes The State of World Population 2004 report by UNFPA, the United Nations Population Fund.
But a shortfall of the funds pledged by international donors is undermining critical efforts to provide family planning services, reduce maternal deaths, prevent HIV/AIDS and meet the needs of young people and the poor. These are the key findings of UNFPAs annual flagship report, launched here today by UNFPA Executive Director Thoraya Ahmed Obaid.
In September 1994, some 179 countries adopted a landmark 20-year Programme of Action at the International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) in Cairo. It called for universal access to reproductive health care by 2015, as a key measure to empower women, ensure human rights, reduce poverty, protect the environment and foster sustainable development.
This year's report, The Cairo Consensus at Ten: Population, Reproductive Health and the Global Effort to End Poverty, examines the progress countries have made and the obstacles they have encountered at the halfway point in implementing the ICPD plan.
