Report of the first meeting of the committee on sustainable development: Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, 25-29 January 1999
The report which has been prepared in the context of the S-year review and appraisal of the implementation of the ICPD-PA as mandated by UN General Assembly Resolution 52/188 of 18th December 1997, is based on information from a number of sources including: an analysis of a country questionnaire for assessing national implementation of the DND and the ICPD-PA that was sent to ECA member States. The report assesses the extent to which ECA member States have utilized the ICPD-PA in the formulation and implementation of their National Population Programmes (NPPs). The main themes of the report are that the ICPD-PA marks a turning point in population policy development as an integral part of overall national development planning by ECA member States; major changes are taking place in the ways in which population policies are being developed particularly with respect to the reformulation and/or reorientation of such policies to include more sustainable development considerations; and the level of awareness and the recognition of title complex interrelationships between population,development, gender equality and environment has grown considerably particularly among central level policy makers.
