Financial Resource Flows For Population Activities 2007

For the first few years after the ICPD, there was little progress to report since annual increases in funding for population activities had been negligible. It appeared that we would never seriously begin to bridge the funding gap between resources mobilized and the Cairo financial agreements. It is only recently that we finally began to observe a definite increasing trend. The past few years have continued to see increases in both donor assistance and domestic resource mobilization for population activities. In 2007, population assistance stood at $8.7 billion and domestic resources are estimated at $18.5 billion.
