This overview is based on the eight country monitoring reports listed below and a regional NGO consultation of the ARROW coordinated project, “ICPD Ten Years On; Monitoring and Advocacy on Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights” funded by the Foundation, New York and NOVIB, Netherlands. It also draws on: eight NGO country reports to be published in 2005 by the Centre for Reproductive Rights, New York and ARROW as “Women of the World: Laws and Policies Affecting their Reproductive Lives – East and Southeast Asia”, and papers of the Initiative for Sexual and Reproductive Rights in Health Reforms, and government reports to the 2002 ESCAP Asian and Pacific Conference.
