On 3-4 July 2013 ASTRA had the pleasure to co-host the Civil Society meeting “ICPD Beyond 2014 – From Promise to Action, CSOs Defining the Way Forward” which was organized by IPPF European Network in Geneva following the UNECE Regional Conference that took place in Geneva on the 1-2nd of July 2013. It reviewed the status of implementation of the ICPD Programme of Action. European Women’s Lobby, a regional network, was the other co-host of this meeting. This collaboration across the region reinforced the ICPD Beyond 2014 process and the engagement of CSO within it, and ensured that the priorities of this region are taken into account in the international agenda.
