Five-Year Review of the Addis Ababa declaration on population and development in Africa beyond 2014

Abstract

The Addis Ababa Declaration on Population and Development in Africa beyond 2014 was adopted by African Ministers at the African Regional Conference on Population and Development, held in Addis Ababa, 3–4 October 2013, and endorsed by African Heads of State and Government at the African Union Executive Council in 2014. The Declaration comprises a total of 88 priority measures (commitments) grouped under six pillars: Dignity and Equality, Health, Place and Mobility, Governance, Data and Statistics, and Partnership and International Cooperation. The Review aims to assess and report on progress in implementing the commitments contained in the Declaration, with a view toward highlighting the gains, 2014, policy documents and programme reports at the continental and regional levels, and peer-reviewed and grey literature. Data for this Review come from two main sources.
