The role of ECA in the implementation process of the DND and ICPD.PA

Abstract

This Briefing Paper Series is intended to provide information about recent and planned ECA activities and policy initiatives in population, environment and agriculture (called the nexus) and science and technology matters. The Briefing Papers may serve as a guide to policy makers, development planners and stakeholders on the African continent and elsewhere in their efforts to accelerate socioeconomic development in Africa. They also share ideas on policies related to the nexus with a wider audience engaged in development activities. Including international organizations, Intergovernmental Organizations (IGOs), Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs), the private sector and civil society. The theme of the current Series No.4 is devoted to ECAs role in the implementation of the Dakar/Ngor Declaration (DND) and the Programme of Action of the International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD.PA), in recognition of the ICPD +5 review in 1999.
