International Conference on Population & Development (ICPD) Monitoring + 10

The State of the World Population Report 2003 (UNFPA) estimates that Nepal’s maternal mortality rate (MMR) has doubled in the past seven years and stands at 905 per 100,000. After Afghanistan, which has a mortality rate of 1,276 per 100,000, Nepal has the second highest mortality rate in South Asia. Monitoring Ten Years Of ICPD Implementation, The Way Forward To 2015, Asian Country Reports presents findings from the only study in Asia, and one of the few globally, to provide much needed evidence on ICPD progress in time for the 10 year review.
