Review of the implementation of the Cairo Programme of Action in the Caribbean (1994-2004): achievements and constraints

Resumen

This report examines activities at the sub-regional and national levels, as reported by governments and non-governmental agencies. Between April and June 2003, a Field Inquiry on the implementation of the Programme of Action was conducted by UNFPA in 16 CDCC members. The Field Inquiry was designed to capture progress achieved and difficulties encountered by countries in implementing the various commitments and recommendations contained in the ICPD Programme of Action and in the Key Actions for its Further Implementation (ICPD+5). The Field Inquiry assessed major sections of the Programme of Action: population and development; gender equality, equity and empowerment of women; reproductive health and rights; behaviour change communication and advocacy; partnerships; resources; data, research and training; and indicators. This information was completed with data provided to a list of socio-economic and demographic indicators, which was administered to all ECLAC/CDCC Member and Associate Member States The report provides an overview of the major economic, social and demographic trends observed in the Caribbean over the past decade, including sector reform and macro-economic adjustment, globalisation and their impact on population issues and concerns. Furthermore, it reflects the assessment of the implementation of the Programme of Action at the sub-regional and national levels conducted by governments and civil society. This includes an analysis of the interrelationships between population, sustained economic growth and sustainable development, issues related to migration patterns, gender equality and the implementation of reproductive health and rights. It also examines the impact of HIV/AIDS and the responses of the Caribbean to the epidemic, as well as the special needs of two age groups, adolescents and older persons. The document analyses the issue of resources and partnerships in moving forward the implementation of the Programme of Action. Finally, the document identifies a number of specific issues that have emerged from the Caribbean analysis with pertinence for many of the CDCC members and which may need further attention in the years to come.
