 Population policies and programmes will be the main topics of an expert 

group meeting being convened in Cairo, Egypt from 12-16 April 1992. The 

meeting, organized by the Population Division of the United Nations 

Department of Economic and Social Development in consultation with the

1994 Conference. Scholars and public officials from both the developing and 

developed world, representatives of the United Nations regional commissions, 

specialized agencies and other United Nations bodies and intergovernmental 

and non-governmental organizations will review population policies and 

programmes in their regions; present national case studies, discuss the 

mobilization of resources; and recommend future directions for population 

activities and their effective integration into the development process.



Prime Minister Atef Sidki of Egypt will deliver the opening address. The 

Secretary-General of the 1994 Conference, Dr. Nafis Sadik, and the Deputy 

Secretary-General, Mr. Shunichi Inoue, will also make opening statements.
