UNFPA
signs agreement for closer partnership with developing countries |
| |
The United Nations
Population Fund and the African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP)
Group of States recently signed an agreement to strengthen
their partnership to curb reproductive health problems, including
HIV/AIDS, reduce poverty and promote development in 79 ACP
developing countries.
The agreement is also meant to mobilize resources to improve
the health and well-being of the people of these countries.
The agreement highlights and promotes the close relationship
between reproductive health, gender equality, girl’s
education, women’s empowerment and sustainable development.
According to the agreement, the parties will help ACP countries
ensure that the goals of the International Conference on Population
and Development form part of the cornerstone of policies and
programmes promoting sustainable development.
