Presentation transcript:

Reproductive Health in the fight Against Poverty Presentation by Frans A.J. Baneke Executive Director, WPF, Netherlands Chairman, EuroNGOs, Brussels at Commonwealth People’s Forum Malta, November 21st, 2005

What Reproductive Health (RH) is and is not RH since ICPD/Cairo in 1994: globally agreed policies and funding

RH domestically and RH in development cooperation programs; the perspective of donor countries

How RH fits into the MDG’s: MDG 3 Promote gender equality and empower women MDG 4 Reduce child mortality MDG 5 Improve maternal health MDG 6 Combat HIV/AIDS, malaria and other diseases

RH and poverty: the widest gap between rich and poor is in RH RH and poverty: the widest gap between rich and poor is in RH. RH affects women and children disproportionally.

Europe as the largest donor of development assistance in general, and of RH assistance in particular (Europe = EU plus individual member states) Europe as strong actor in every part of the global aid structure: UN, World Bank Group, Global Fund Europe as a leading promoter of RH globally, and the need for allies: Commonwealth/EU-member states within, and Commonwealth countries from the South

RH and MDG’s in the September UN Summit

Why civil society is more important for RH than for many other themes: the reluctance of policymakers to touch sensitive issues

The role of EuroNGOs: platform, advocacy, project interventions The desire of EuroNGOs to partner with NGOs from (Commonwealth) countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America

The crucial timing and importance of a statement from this People’s Forum to the Commonwealth Heads of State.

Suggested text for statement We, …….., call on the Heads of State of the Commonwealth to reaffirm their commitment to safe motherhood, the sexual and reproductive health of women, child health and rights, and gender equality. We call on you to mobilise additional resources and remove barriers in our countries so as to improve access to sexual, reproductive and neonatal health care, and HIV/AIDS prevention, counselling, treatment and care services. We call on you to express the need for a target to monitor the implementation of RH programs agreed at the 2005 UN Summit defined as: reproductive health for all by 2015. We call on you to recognize the special capacity and importance of civil society organisations in this field and to enter into partnerships with them.
