Kiribati tackling the ICPD unfinished business to further progress the SDGs

On behalf of the Government and the people of Kiribati, I, Teburoro Tito, Ambassador and Permanent Representative of Kiribati to the United Nations, pledge specific and action-oriented national commitments which are also in line with the “Nairobi Summit Global Commitments”, that, we believe, will transform the lives of people of Kiribati and fulfill the promise of Cairo, by no later than the year 2030. These commitments are critical to the unfinished agenda of the ICPD Programme of Action in Kiribati, as well as the fulfillment of the Agenda 2030 and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The Government of Kiribati perseveres toward a wealthy, healthy and peaceful nation with her people at the center of sustainable development, as articulated in Kiribati 20 Year Vision 2016-2036 (KV20). The KV20 vision recognizes that good health through universal health coverage is a prerequisite for economic growth, poverty reduction and the realization of the ICPD Programme of Action and the SDGs. We will double-up all efforts for the full and effective implementation of the ICPD Programme of Action and the SDGs.
