ANTIGUA AND BARBUDA:
On behalf of the member States of
CARICOM and Suriname, Amb. Lionel Hurst said that the key to achieving
the sustainable population growth goals recommended in the Programme
of Action rests with the participation of women in every aspect of
development. This begins with the education of the girl-child. He
supported the proposal to establish an expert group with participants
from WHO, UNFPA, UNICEF and UNDP to move the concept of
reproductive health from the discussion stage to the implementation
stage.
