Project Dates: May 2018 – March 2019
The Africa Union, UNECA and UNFPA commissioned a Continental Review to assess the progress on the implementation of commitments contained in the Addis Ababa Declaration on Population and Development (AADPD). The AADPD Operational Guide for Monitoring and Evaluation, along with data and national reports from multiple sources, were used to track the implementation of individual commitments and assess progress on policies and the demographic dividend.
With wide disparities in the progress on indicators across and within the five African regions, the Review made a number of recommendations on each of the six pillars: Dignity and Equality; Health; Place and Mobility; Governance; Data and Statistics; and Partnership and International Cooperation.
Crosscutting recommendations were also made on infrastructure programs and energy provision, internet infrastructure, and the increasing insecurities that are threatening social and economic development. The findings of the Continental Review were presented at an AADPD Expert and Ministerial Meeting held in Accra, on October 2-5, 2018.
Dr. Jean Christophe Fotso of EVIHDAF and Prof. Jean-François Kobiané of ISSP, Burkina Faso were commissioned by UNFPA do conduct the Review.
