Therefore contraception is the utilization of various and sundry surgical procedures, devices, practices, agents, or drugs with the intention of preventing conception or impregnation (pregnancy). Methods and intentions typically termed birth control may be considered a pivotal ingredient to family planning. Birth control is a controversial political and ethical issue in many cultures and religions, and although it is generally less controversial than abortion specifically.

ABSTRACT

This news brief discusses the renewed and stronger commitment between the UN Population Fund (UNFPA) and

JOICFP to collaborate on population and reproductive health issues. A memorandum of understanding was signed

on September 10, 1996, the third memorandum since the initial one in 1981. JOICFP will be expanding its

responsibilities. In Japan, JOICFP will be working with the government to support the Global Issues Initiative on

Population and AIDS, the WID Initiative, and efforts to form better partnerships between nongovernmental groups and

the government. The memorandum affirmed for the first time the efforts of JOICFP to facilitate liaison between the

government of Japan and the UNFPA on such matters as multilateral funding. The parties agreed to facilitate and

recruit technical advisory services in Japan for UNFPA-supported activities, to assist in securing equipment

purchased in Japan, and to provide advice on placement of fellowships. The new agreement emphasizes the new

mandates set forth in the 1994 ICPD Plan of Action. In meetings between IPPF, UNFPA, and JOICFP in New York,

talk focused on effective implementation of the joint effort during 1996-99 and the relevance of JOICFP's approach to

the implementation of the ICPD Plan of Action. JOICFP over the past 20 years used a field strategy that relied on

community participation and satisfaction of individual needs, particularly women's needs. UNFPA, JOICFP, and

IPPF also met in New York on September 4, 1996, to discuss the strengths and weaknesses, lessons learned, and

recommendations for future planning in the tripartite collaboration in Africa. Evaluations were conducted in Gambia,

Ghana, Tanzania, and Zambia. JOICFP agreed to finalize and submit the final report and recommendations for 1997-

99. It was agreed that integrated programs were essential and that community mobilization was necessary for the

success of reproductive health promotion in Africa. (PubHealth.info Document ID: CONT2T 2058-06)
