19 IIMC on South-South Cooperation and the ICPD@30

Primary & Partner Organizations: Partners in Population and Development

This Pre-conference Ministerial forum's aim to provide policy guidance and commitments from high-level government officials on how to increase the utilization of South-South and triangular cooperation at ICPD@30 and beyond. As ICPD@30 approaches, we need to re-emphasize the importance and power of SSTC for the achievement of ICPD PoA. More and more countries have succeeded in their national development efforts, including their family planning programme. As such, they are capable of sharing their knowledge and resources through SSTC. This panel will envision how to use SSTC as an instrument for accelerated achievement of ICPD PoA.

There will be three sessions Opening, ministerial, and closing, with the adaptation of the outcome document. This high-level ministerial forum will create opportunities to discuss among countries to evaluate the commitment of ICPD@25 and the way forward to ICPD@30. This contributes to the incipient global conversation for commitments and visions for the international conference on ICPD@30.
