UNFPA in Madagascar

UNFPA works in partnership with governments, other institutions, and civil society to advance its mission. Two frameworks guide its activities: the Programme of Action adopted at the 1994 International Conference on Population and Development and the Millennium Development Goals, a set of eight targets aimed at reducing extreme poverty by 2015. Because the achievement dates for these sets of interdependent goals and related targets are rapidly approaching, considerable work has been done to analyze what has worked, galvanize our support, and redouble our efforts.
