Country Report
Republic of South Africa

 

The purpose of this Country Report is to provide a descriptive overview of the country's progress in implementing the ICPD PoA. It serves another important purpose as well, though. By publishing this report, the government endeavours to stimulate discussion between itself and sectors of civil society on the state of the country's population. These discussions should inform the  evaluation of national population and development priorities. Furthermore, it will guide the development of a (next) five-year strategy to pursue the objectives of the PoA, in the context of national population and development challenges.
