Dhaka, Bangladesh, 17-20
January 2000
Organised by the IUSSP Committee on Fertility and Family Planning and
the Operations Research Program, International Centre for Diarrhoeal Disease Research,
Bangladesh.
This seminar is being organised by the IUSSP Committee on Fertility and Family Planning in collaboration with the Operations Research Program, International Centre for Diarrhoeal Disease Research, Bangladesh.
The Committee has chosen the end of the century to draw on the experience of family planning programmes in the second half of the 20th century to ascertain what has been learnt and what experience is relevant for the next century. Examples of new problems which must be faced, and for which there is already some knowledge, include the following: the better measurement of the impact of programmes, the best use of resources either within the programmes or outside them to achieve fertility decline, designing programmes to meet the ICPD agenda, the evolution of programmes in countries which have reached low fertility, the policy implications of rapid fertility transitions such as programmes to address the problem of population momentum, the achievement of a fertility transition in sub-Saharan Africa, and the design of programmes to best meet regional needs. The meeting will concern itself with such broad areas as the social and health impacts of fertility reduction, the development role of investment in family planning and related topics in resource allocation, the role and design of programmes in settings where demand for family planning is constrained, the long-term rationale for programmes as demographic transitions progress, the likely experience and nature of programmes in poor countries if international assistance declines.
All papers should draw upon actual experience, international comparative data or reviews of scientific literature with the aim of drawing conclusions that contribute to the design of future programmes.
Topics include:
Why programmes have evolved as they have over last half century and what this implies for the future; the role of united Nations Population and Development Conferences in shaping what programmes actually do
The extent to which family planning programmes have contributed to fertility declines and the extent to which other development programmes have also contributed to fertility declines
The social and demographic impact of programmes
Region-specific examinations of how the ICPD reproductive health and situation of women aims can fashion design of programmes
The incorporation of family planning into broader health approaches
The relevance of programmes in low-fertility settings
The relevance of programmes in high-fertility, but low-demand settings
The ability of programmes to adapt to changing conditions and needs and to be sustainable
The evolution of appropriate methods of measurement and evaluation in the post-ICPD era; the assessment of quality; and other emerging issues in evaluation
The social, health, or economic benefits of reproductive change
New issues that are likely to arise in the next century, such as population momentum, rapid urban growth, and other topics.
