Advocating for sexual and reproductive health in the context of five year review
of the Millennium Declaration
Family Care International (FCI) have produced the first in a series of background
briefing papers on the Millennium Declaration review process that is taking place this
year. This is part of a multi-faceted, collaborative strategy being implemented by FCI
and colleagues to ensure that world leaders recognise and acknowledge the critical
importance of sexual and reproductive health for development when they gather for the
high -level meeting in September. It is also aimed at ensuring that targets and indicators
on sexual and reproductive health are incorporated into the targets and indicators under
the eight Millennium Development Goals when they are revised following the
September meeting. To obtain a copy of the report, contact Shannon Kowalski-Morton,
Program Officer, Global Advocacy at skowalski@familycareintl.org
