NGOs Gain Momentum

NGO'S GAIN MOMENTUM



 Interest on the part of non-governmental organizations in the 1994 

Conference is growing rapidly. More than eighty NGOs are now members of the 

NGO Planning Committee for the International Conference on Population and 

Development, 1994.



The Planning Committee recently facilitated NGO participation in the Fourth 

Asian and Pacific Population Conference held in Bali, Indonesia in August 

1992. As a result of NGO presence at the Conference, increased attention was 

given to the essential contributions made by NGOs. The Bali Declaration 

adopted at the conclusion of the Conference recognizes the important role of 

NGOs in supporting national population programmes.



The NGO Planning Committee is organizing an information dissemination 

network for its members and other NGOs interested in participating in the 

ICPD preparatory process. The next Planning Committee Meeting is set for 8 

January 1993 in New York.
