Abstract<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n

It has been thirty years since the adoption of the Program of Action (PoA) at the International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) in Cairo, Egypt, in 1994. This project aims to review and appraise the ICPD program of action in China.<\/p>\r\n

These reports reviewed China’s actions and policies related to ICPD PoA since 1994, and highlighted major achievements of China in the implementation of family planning services programs, and other population and development programs.
