International Conference on Population and Development

The International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) is a significant global event that addresses issues related to population, development, and reproductive health. First held in Cairo in 1994, it brought together countries, NGOs, and experts to create a comprehensive plan aimed at improving people's lives through better education, health services, and gender equality. The ICPD advocates for individual rights, especially regarding family planning and reproductive choices, highlighting their importance in achieving sustainable development and enhancing quality of life worldwide. The conference continues to shape policies that affect population and development discussions globally.
