The quinquennial review of the International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) is an opportunity for all Governments to review their support to population and reproductive health programmes, including the work of the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA). We are doing all that we can to ensure that resources to implement ICPD are forthcoming.
