Abstract

Year 2009 marks the 15th anniversary of the 1994 Cairo International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD), and the 17th anniversary of the 1992 Dakar/Ngor Declaration (DND) on Population, Family and Sustainable Development. The ICPD adopted a 20-year Programme of Action (PoA) with a broad mandate on interrelationships between population, sustained economic growth and sustainable development, and advances in the education, economic status and empowerment of women.
