ICPD stands for the International Conference on Population and Development; a 1994 meeting in Cairo where 179 governments adopted a revolutionary Programme of Action and called for women’s reproductive health and rights to take centre stage in national and global development efforts.
The Nairobi Summit: Accelerating The Promise
2019 marks the 25th anniversary of the ICPD. This year, the governments of Kenya and Denmark and UNFPA are co-convening the Nairobi Summit on ICPD25; a conference to mobilize the political will and financial commitments we urgently need to finally implement the ICPD Programme of Action.
The Summit aims to bring everyone together; heads of state, ministers, parliamentarians, thought-leaders, technical experts, civil society organizations, grassroots organizations, young people, business and community leaders, faith-based organizations, indigenous peoples, international financial institutions, people with disabilities, academics and many others interested in working on sexual and reproductive health and rights.
