National Committees Growing in Number



 More than 100 Governments have established national committees and working 

groups or have designated existing interdepartmental units to coordinate 

national-level activities for the 1994 Conference.



The committees serve two purposes: ( I ) to increase public awareness of the 

1994 Conference by organizing population and development activities; and (2) 

to coordinate the preparation of the country s National Report on Population 

..



The National Reports on Population will serve as important signposts for 

future population strategies. The ICPD Secretariat will undertake a 

comprehensive analysis of the reports, which are due to the ICPD Secretariat 

by 30 September 1993.



Limited funding is available to assist Governments in preparing the national 

reports and in organizing other ICPD related activities Seventy countriesÑ 

29 in Africa, 20 in Latin America and the Caribbean, 18 in Asia and the 

Pacific and 3 in other regionsÑhave received a total of $587 030 in
