From the 7-11 April the 47th session of the Commission on Population and Development (CPD) will be taking place in New York. It is one of the last steps in the ICPD review process before the UN General Assembly Special Session (UNGASS) on ICPD beyond 2014 in September this year. Two weeks ago it was finally confirmed that the 47th session of the CPD will be negotiated. This year’s CPD Bureau is chaired by Uruguay, with vice-chairpersons from Denmark, Japan, Georgia and Senegal.
