Call for National Committees

Call for

National Committees



 Dr. Nafis Sadik, Conference Secretary-General, has called upon all 

Governments to set up national committees for the International Conference 

on Population and Development, 1994.



The national committees will serve as focal points for the 1994 Conference, 

and will facilitate national preparations including the preparation of a 

national report on population. Guidelines for preparing the report will 

shortly be distributed to Permanent Missions to the United Nations. The 

reports should address the population situation, policies and programmes 

unique to each country, including maternal and child health/family planning 

programmes and services; population information and education; women, 

population and development programmes; population policy formulation and 

processes; and other issues, including, but not limited to, population and 

the environment, youth, AIDS, aging, resource mobilization and funding. The 

reports will be useful in disseminating information and experiences among 

countries.



The National Committees will also manage awareness creation and public 

information activities for the Conference.
