ZIMBABWE:
The delegate from Zimbabwe made the following
points with regard to the annotated outline: the need for new and
additional financial resources should be more explicit; regarding
gender equality and empowerment of women, the focus should be on
the full integration of women into development, not just
population; and the document should mention the minimum legal age
of consent. In the chapter on the family there is a need to
mention vulnerabilities such as drug and alcohol abuse. The
problems relating to the high proportion of youth in the
population of some countries must also be addressed. Finally,
there is an overlap between the chapters on reproductive health
(VII) and health and mortality (VIII).
