NIGERIA:
The Nigerian Ambassador noted the need for respect of
each nation"s sovereignty in the implementation of the Programme of
Action. Gender equality and the empowerment of women are vital. The
Programme of Action must be backed by financial support and countries
must consider specific targets for assistance, especially to improve
education, reduce infant and maternal mortality and provide health
services. Increased coordination is needed among all relevant UN
agencies.
