The International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD), held at Cairo in
1994, adopted a comprehensive, and in many Nways path breaking, Programme of Action
(POA) that has led to the reorientation of population policies and programmes worldwide.
The experience gained in implementation of the Plans of Action adopted at earlier global population conferences, particularly those held in Bucharest in 1974 and in Mexico City in
1984, the Declaration and the Plan of Action of the World Summit for Children, 1990, Agenda 21 adopted at the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development held at
Rio de Janierio in 1992 and the Vienna Declaration and POA adopted by the 1993 World Conference on Human Rights shaped the ICPD POA (United Nations, 1994) in its emphasis on sustainable development, child health and child survival, reproductive health and gender equality as central to achieving development goals. The POA called for a rights-based approach to the formulation and implementation of population policies and programmes that were responsive to individual needs and aspirations.
