Governments, in cooperation with the United Nations Population Fund as appropriate, should seek to
ensure full and regular monitoring of resource flows, paying particular attention to transparency and accountability
for the costed population and reproductive health package included in the Programme of Action. Non-governmental
organizations may provide the necessary information, as appropriate, in this regard.
104.
Countries, especially developed countries, are urged to increase substantially their voluntary contribution
to the United Nations Population Fund, as well as to other relevant United Nations programmes and specialized
agencies, so that they will be in a better position to assist countries to implement further the goals and objectives
of the Programme of Action, including reproductive health programmes.
105.
Governments of developed and developing countries are encouraged to give thorough consideration to
the implementation of the 20/20 initiative, a voluntary compact between interested donor and recipient countries,
which can provide increased resources for broader poverty eradication objectives, including population and social
sector objectives.9
106.
Governments should implement policies that facilitate increased access to basic health services, including
high-quality and affordable reproductive health and family planning services; promote effective interventions and
support services, including private sector services, as appropriate; set standards for service delivery; and review
legal, regulatory and import policies to identify and eliminate those policies that unnecessarily restrict or prevent
the greater involvement of the private sector. Public sector resources and subsidies should have as a priority people
living in poverty, under-served populations and low-income sectors of the population.
