What role have sub-national and regional governments played in advancing the ICPD Programme of Action? Understanding and optimizing the relationship between global agendas and national/regional stakeholders is paramount to realizing the full implementation of the ICPD PoA. This concurrent session will offer a forum for sub-national and regional governments to exchange experiences and discuss opportunities to deliver on the ICPD promise of zero unmet need for contraception, zero preventable maternal deaths, and zero gender-based violence and harmful practices. Expect participants to make political and financial commitments that reinforce the importance of carrying out the ICPD Programme of Action at sub-national and regional levels.
