The 3rd China-Africa Conference on Population and Development will take place from 23rd June 2019 to 26 June 2019 on the theme “Population Data Management and Universal Access to Reproductive Health as Key Drivers to Sustainable Development.”

As UNFPA turns 50 and also celebrates 25 years of the ICPD, the time is ripe to allow young people to lead their own dialogues, foster relationships and build networks that would result in opportunities for growth and development. As such on the third day of the CACPD Conference young people will convene The ‘CACPD-Youth4Youth Forum’, which seeks to foster bring forward youth perspectives on the global development agenda.
