Independent assessment of the implementation of the programme of action (POA) of the international conference on population and development (ICPD)

According to the terms of reference, the main objective of this independent assessment was to add value to the country-level reviews by providing critical and objective analysis that contributes to a holistic picture of the status of the implementation of the ICPD POA in sub- Saharan Africa, 15 years on. The assessment was also expected to provide for, and inform, the future direction of UNFPA support to sub-Saharan Africa.
