Implementation of the kilimanjaro programme of action on population

Abstract

Following the world population conference held in Bucharest (1974) and the adoption of the world population plan of action, many governments have formulated policies and programmes purporting to take into account the interrelationships between population and development. In this regard, the activities of these governments have focused on the five main areas of conferences, seminars, research activities; dissemination of information; and, strengthening technical capacity and institution building for the integration,, However, despite the concerted efforts by African governments in these areas, difficulties are still being encountered in attempting to integrate population into development planning on a systematic basis
