30.3.2022

By including specific provisions throughout the agreement for the effective implementation of the Maputo Plan of Action 2016-2030, the Montevideo Consensus on Population and Development, and the Asian and Pacific Ministerial Declaration on Population and Development, the new Partnership Agreement[1] states the Parties’ commitment to work together at all levels, be the local, national, regional and international levels, towards achieving such objective. With the new Partnership Agreement, Parties will translate their political commitments into concrete actions and initiatives.
