The report, scheduled for publication in early 2014, reflects the views of States and stakeholders and shows that the Programme of Action has significantly contrib- uted to tangible progress: fewer women today are dying in pregnancy and childbirth; skilled birth attendance has increased by 15 per cent worldwide since 1990; more women have access to education, work and political participation; more children are going to school; and fewer adolescent girls are having babies. But the report also warns that these successes have not reached everyone equally. In the poorest communities, very little progress has been reported in improving women’s status, reducing maternal death and preventing child marriage in the past 20 years. In some instances, the situation is worsening. The report puts forward a framework for the future of the Programme of Action,acknowledging that the
motivations for development are generated by human aspirations for dignity and human rights, good health, mobility and security of place. The framework also cites the centrality of the well-being of the individual in sustainable development, the achievement of which depends also on good governance and accountability.
