“ICPD at 15: Progress and Prospects”
24-25 November 2008, Kampala, Uganda
The imperatives of globalization together with a redefinition of the Reproductive Health and Population environment and the emerging issues like food security, climatic change, ageing population and migration urge for a review of global population and development agenda specifically to address the needs of developing countries and the most vulnerable population. South-South Cooperation is a modality of change and a strategy for action and reaction for and among developing countries. It has a proven record of effective sharing of experience and best practices, transfer of skills and technologies and is destined to play a leading role in development cooperation initiatives and in making meaningful impact.
In this context, PPD is organizing an International Forum on “ICPD at 15: Progress and Prospects” between 24th and 25th November 2008 in Kampala, Uganda. The objective is to analyze the achievement of ICPD as we move to its 15 years commemoration in 2009, discuss the emerging issues and propose concrete actions to achieve its goals, with particular emphasis on the South-South initiative.
Organized by Partners in Population and Development, in collaboration with the Ministry of State for Finance, Planning and Economic Development, Government of Uganda.
