Africa’s Demographic Challenges
An advocacy and awareness raising campaign
High population dynamics is one of the biggest obstacles in fighting extreme poverty in sub-Saharan Africa. In this region a lot of women get more children than they wish to get as in many cases they don’t have access to modern methods of family planning. Universal access to respective information and services is essential to reduce poverty and to enable a sustainable development in Africa. Therefore, increasing investments in family planning and Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH) is necessary.
The project “Africa’s demographic challenges” is an advocacy and awareness raising campaign on this topic. It targets strategically chosen groups from the media, civil society and the general public as well as political decision makers in Germany, Austria and Hungary. A comprehensive research study will be produced within the action. It will be discussed with experts from all over the world at an international conference in autumn 2011.
