The Nairobi Summit, held to mark the 25th anniversary of the 1994 Cairo International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD), brings together governments, women’s groups, youth networks, UN agencies, and private sector actors to review progress and set future commitments. Donors pledge USD 9 billion to achieve “zero maternal deaths, zero unmet need for family planning, and zero gender-based violence and harmful practices” by 2030. The summit concludes with renewed commitments to advance and uphold the human rights and sexual and reproductive health and rights of women, adolescents, and youth. Participants also pledge to intensify system-wide efforts to eliminate preventable maternal and child mortality and morbidity, eradicate gender-based violence, and support national governments to fully and rapidly implement the ICPD agenda in alignment with national Sustainable Development Goals.
