In 1994 the landmark International Conference on Population and Development (commonly referred to as ICPD) transformed global thinking on population and development issues.

2024 will mark 30 years of this milestone, and ahead of this, the Ministry of Health and Population of the Government of Nepal, with the technical support of UNFPA, carried out a seven-month rigorous ICPD review process from May to November 2023 to assess Nepal's committments. This knowledge product provides a brief overview of the sequential process of the ICDP review process and the progress made ahead of ICPD30 in 2024.

This publication also contains the National Declaration read out at the Seventh Asian and Pacific Population Conference, which was organized by the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (UN ESCAP) in collaboration with UNFPA in Asia and the Pacific in Bangkok from 15 to 17 November 2023.
