Analysing the Addis Ababa Action Agenda of the 3rd International Conference on Financing and Development
July 11, 2015 - The Addis Ababa Action Agenda of the 3rd International Conference on Financing and Development claims to lay down the ground for a sound global financing framework for post 2015 which is fair, just and equitable and takes care of the most vulnerable and the most marginalized.

At a time when the environment is at its most vulnerable and financial crises are escalating, the Asian-Pacific Resource & Research Centre for Women (ARROW) calls for a development agenda that is substantive, binding, and based on principles of human rights. The Addis Action Agenda must recognise people as equal beings irrespective of the regions, race, class, and other categories they represent, but must roll out measures that are equitable thus recognising their differential needs, concerns, marginalisations and vulnerabilities.
This report, the first such published by the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), looks at FGM through the lens of population dynamics and the demographic dividend, based on current evidence and data. It offers quantitative information that both supports evidence-based programming, and frames financial implications for Member States and international donors. Evidence to define the size of the target population and orient actions around areas of greatest impact is of high value in developing interventions and formulating policies. UNFPA remains strongly committed to engaging with Member States, civil society, UN agencies and all other stakeholders to accelerate the elimination of FGM worldwide. Protecting girls upholds their sexual and reproductive health and rights, and enables them to realize their full potential.
