ABSTRACT

It has been 3 years since the official delegations of 180 countries at the International Conference on Population and

Development (ICPD) adopted by consensus an ambitious 20-year plan of action. However, while Dr. Nafis Sadik, the

conference's Secretary General and Executive Director of the UN Population Fund, publicly anticipated the program's

far-reaching impact and its potential to change to world, there has been almost no movement toward an integrated

approach to implementing the plan. The ICPD was the only major international conference during the past 5 years in

which participants agreed upon specific monetary amounts needed for program implementation. While several

governments have increased their allocations for population programs since the Cairo conference, annual global

expenditures remain well below half of the $17 billion estimated to be needed annually by 2000. The Republican-led

US Congress has been a major part of the donor community's reluctance to pay the 33% share of the required

funding estimated at the ICPD. Several developing countries have nonetheless taken the program of action's goals

more seriously, developing and implementing official courses of action which reflect the ICPD recommendations.

Both reproductive health research on and programs for men are either underway or being developed. (PubHealth.info
