Re-Costing Cairo: Revised Estimate of the Resource Requirements to Achieve the ICPD Goals
March 3, 2009
In 1994 the International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) in Cairo produced estimates of the resource requirements to achieve universal access to a range of population-related programs. It was estimated that by the year 2010, it would cost US$29.2 billion annually in current dollars to achieve the costed interventions of the ICPD by 2015.By 2008 a consensus developed that the 1994 ICPD cost estimates were out of date. Escalating need, rising drug and supply costs, and the scale of the resources needed to address the HIV/AIDS pandemic undermined the relevance of the original estimates.There was also a need to integrate post-1994 information regarding the set of interventions that made up a complete package of reproductive health services, the status of this care in developing countries, and also its cost and current needs.
Progress & Promises - Trends in International Assistance for Reproductive Health and Population
May 1, 2007
Money matters and policies count. Ten years ago, at the International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) in Cairo, the international community endorsed an approach to improving reproductive health based on meeting individual needs and respecting human rights. The 179 nations present agreed on a plan for achieving universal access to basic reproductive health care by 2015-and on the financial resources needed to make it a reality. They pledged to share the costs, estimated at US$18.5 billion annually by the year 2005, and donor nations committed to providing one-third of that total.
What You Need to Know to Apply for U.S. Government Funding for Community-Based Projects Linking Reproductive Health and Natural Resource Management
February 1, 2007
Since 2001, the U.S. Congress has encouraged the U.S. Agency for International Development USAID, the agency that dispenses foreign development assistance to implement family planning and related reproductive health programs in areas where biological diversity is threatened and where species are endangered. Congress has never specified a funding level for these activities, which are supported by funds appropriated for international family planning programs, amounting to more than US$400 million annually in recent years. Over the past few years the agency has allocated between $1 million and $2 million annually to fund such projects and to explore the implications of the population-environment linkage as it applies to the conservation of critical ecosystems and the biodiversity they shelter.
