Creating a New Consensus on Population

The Politics of Reproductive Health, Reproductive Rights, and Women's Empowerment

By: Jyoti Shankar Singh

Population growth, reproductive health and reproductive rights are amongst the most pressing issues facing governments and the international community. Since the world's governments agreed for the first time on far-reaching and enlightened population policies at the 1994 International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) in Cairo, a good deal of progress has been made on these issues, but major challenges remain. This fully updated edition of Creating a New Consensus on Population charts international progress on efforts to address population and development, reproductive health, reproductive rights, religion, contraception and the empowerment of women. Historical coverage includes the lead up process to the ICPD, the conference itself and the global consensus and the ICPD Programme of Action that resulted. The book then turns to how population issues have developed over the past decade and a half including follow-up and implementation at the international level by the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) and other UN agencies and organizations. Key international events are covered including the 1999 ICPD+5, Millennium Summit 2000, ICPD+10 and the 2005 MDG+5 as well as relevant regional events. The book also examines the reorientation of policies and programmes and implementation at national levels across the world. Crucially, it looks at emerging issues and partnerships including the increasing role of NGOs, women's groups, youth groups, foundations, public-private partnerships and other non-state stakeholders. Written by Jyoti Shankar Singh, former ICPD Executive Coordinator, this is the definitive account of how the international community has engaged with population issues and policies and it offers insight into both the ongoing challenges as well as how an international consensus can be forged on crucial global issues. It is essential reading for all those involved in population, health and development issues and policies world-wide.

The Population Challenge in Asia

Parliamentarians as Advocates and Policy Makers

By: Jyoti Shankar Singh

This highly readable book, written by Jyoti Shankar Singh, traces the history of how Asian Parliamentarians have built up over the last two decades the Asian Forum of Parliamentarians on Population and Development (AFPPD) as a strong and effective regional organization, devoted to meeting the population and development challenges facing the Asia and Pacific region. It also documents the main activities of national parliamentary groups on population and development. In point of fact, many of these groups were established with the assistance of AFPPD itself. The book also points out the important role that AFPPD has played in promoting regional cooperation in other parts of the world and in organizing a large number of international conferences that focused on the global UN conferences dealing with population, women and sustainable development issues. In its last chapter, the book summarizes the accomplishments of AFPPD and its national committees and outlines the challenges before them in fulfilling the goals and objectives of the 1994 International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD). The book, in my view, is essential reading for all those interested in population and development issues in Asia and the Pacific. I highly commend it to my parliamentary colleagues.Yoshio YatsuMember of Parliament, JapanChairman, Asian Forum of Parliamentarians on Population and Development (AFPPD)
