Key actions for the further implementation of the Programme of Action of the of the International Conference on Population and Development 1999, para. 55
- Paragraph text
- 55. Increased efforts are needed by the United Nations system, with support from the international community, to develop and agree upon common key indicators on reproductive health programmes, including, inter alia, family planning, maternal health, sexual health, sexually transmitted diseases, HIV/AIDS, and information, education and communication for appropriate consideration in the relevant intergovernmental process. Bearing in mind the efforts made by national Governments, the World Health Organization is invited to take the lead role in this area, in coordination with the United Nations Children's Fund, the United Nations Population Fund, the United Nations Development Programme, the Joint and Co-sponsored United Nations Programme on Human Immunodeficiency Virus/Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome, the Department of Economic and Social Affairs of the Secretariat and other relevant United Nations entities, drawing on other expertise and knowledge as appropriate. Indicators on maternal and neonatal mortality, maternal morbidity and maternal health programmes should be given a prominent place, in order to monitor progress effectively and ensure that priority is given to reproductive health care in the provision of general health services. The international community is encouraged to provide financial and technical assistance to developing countries to improve their capacity-building in terms of indicators, data collection, monitoring, and evaluation in this field.
