Countries are making real progress in carrying out a bold global
action plan that links poverty alleviation to women's rights and
universal access to reproductive health. Ten years into the new
era opened by the 1994 International Conference on Population
and Development (ICPD) in Cairo, the quality and reach of family
planning programmes have improved, safe motherhood and HIV pre-
vention efforts are being scaled up, and governments embrace the
ICPD Programme of Action as an essential blueprint for realizing
development goals. But without increased funding for family
planning programs worldwide, the world's poorest nations will
continue to grow disproportionately.
