The year 2019 marks the 25th anniversary of the International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD), held in Cairo in 1994. At the Cairo conference, 179 governments adopted a visionary Programme of Action that called for women’s reproductive health and rights to take centre stage in national and global development efforts. Since 1994, remarkable progress has been made around the world, but there are still millions of women and girls who have not benefited from the promise of ICPD.
As we celebrate the achievements realized over the past 25 years, we need to set a roadmap to complete the unfinished business of ICPD. The world is committed to achieving the SDGs by 2030, but this cannot be done without the ICPD agenda. The ICPD anniversary is a unique opportunity to inspire action and mobilize political commitment to fully implement its Programme of Action.
To mark this event, the Governments of Kenya and Denmark and UNFPA are co-convening the Nairobi Summit on ICPD25 in Nairobi, Kenya on 12-14 November. The goal is to elicit commitments to end preventable maternal deaths, eliminate unmet need for modern contraceptive methods, and end gender-based violence and harmful practices against women and girls – as an indispensable part of Agenda 2030. The Nairobi Summit will provide an inclusive platform for Member States and a broad range of stakeholders to come together around the universally applicable principle of rights and choices for all.
