Africa 's population and development bulletin

Abstract

This is the first issue of a new initiative of the Food Security and Sustainable Development Division (FSSDD) of the Economic Commission for Africa. With the support of UNFPA, the first two issues of Africa’s Population and Development Bulletin will be published during 1999. The aim is to encourage the exchange and sharing of experiences among African countries in the implementation of the Dakar/Ngor Declaration (DND) and the International Conference on Population and Development - Programme of Action (ICPD-PA). The information in the bulletin covers the thematic areas included in the ICPD-PA and will provide a platform to discuss research results, policy initiatives, policy outcomes, and activities at the grassroots level. The bulletin will be disseminated to planners, policy makers, universities and researchers, NGOs, international organizations and the public at large.
