NGO perspectives on what is critical to improving the further implementation of the ICPD Programme of Action are clear, with much commonality throughout the regions including Asia and the Pacific. These have been articulated through a review process which has included national discussions and NGO meetings, regional NGO consultations, and several international meetings including the international NGO Forum in the Hague, Netherlands, in February 1999.
This editorial draws on participation in these activities as well as ARROW’s own research work and analysis in putting forward the lessons learnt.
