Overview of ICPD
• International Conference on Population and Development
(ICPD) was established in Cairo on 13th September in 1994,
where 179 governments adopted a landmark programme of
action which set out to empower women and girls for their sake
and for the benefit of their families, communities and nation.
•
The programme for action called for comprehensive
reproductive healthcare for all which included voluntary family
planning, safe pregnancy all through to child birth and
prevention as well as treatment of sexually transmitted
infections
ICPD 25
ICPD 25 summit was held from 12—14th
November 2019 in Nairobi Kenya.
The summit was co-convened by the
governments of Kenya and Denmark with
UNFPA, the United Nation, Sexual and
reproductive health agency.
The summit opened with release of new
research showing the price tag to achieve three
transformative results by 2030
1. Zero maternal death
2. Zero urgent need for family planning
3. Zero gender based violence and harmful
practices against women and girls
The summit discussed:
Universal access to sexual and reproductive
health and rights as part of universal health
coverage

programme of action and to sustain gains
made

reproductive health care even in humanitarian
and fragile context
The summit mobilized more that 1200
commitments from around the world including
billions of dollars in pledge from public and
private sector partners.

and policy makers about how to realize the
rights and health of all people

billion dollars according to the analysis by
