Preparations are well under way for the year 2000 round
censuses in
the Arab States.In the Arab states region, Governments
continued to demonstrate commitment to addressing population issues and implementing the
ICPD Programme of Action. The Ministers of Planning of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC)
have decided to develop a framework for a subregional population strategy. Throughout the
region, increased attention is being focused on promoting reproductive health and
women’s empowerment. To highlight these key issues, a regional forum on reproductive
health, women and development was held in Bahrain in September.
