Revised Cost Estimates for the Implementation of the Programme of Action of the ICPD

The text describes the methodology used in calculating the 1994 estimates. It also reviews the new sexual and reproductive initiatives and data sources. It includes a discussion of the assumptions behind costing these interventions, as well as methodological constraints and shortcomings. Details of the methodology are presented, together with the estimated costs in summary form. For costs related to HIV and AIDS, UNAIDS new estimates are considered. Finally, the results for the fourth component (basic data, research and policy) is estimated taking into account the 2010 round of censuses.
