  • Title: The quantitative goals of the Dakar / Ngor Declaration and the Cairo Programme of Action.
    Journal: Afr Popul Newsl; 1995; (68):2-4. PubMed ID: 12320154.
    Abstract:
    The adoption of quantitative goals with an implementation schedule by the Dakar and Cairo conferences is considered by many to be a remarkable improvement upon previous population conferences. The scope of the goals is, however, more important than their quantitative character. A feasibility assessment of the goals based upon the UN Demographic Projections was presented at the Abidjan Workshop. It seems that the Dakar/Ngor Declaration and the Cairo Program of Action objectives on demographic growth, life expectancy at birth, and child mortality may not be achieved, at least within the set time limit. In fact, population trends, as projected by the UN indicate that the objective's implementation rate in Africa may be slower than expected by the countries which met in Dakar and Cairo. The quantitative goals of the Dakar/Ngor Declaration and the Cairo Program of Action are discussed.
