This conference follows the Asia-Pacific Call for Action initiated in 1982. The object of the meeting was to develop methods for review, appraisal and analysis of the interim progress, and to issue guidelines for further implementation of the recommendations. The meeting report is structured into sections on review and appraisal of achievements of the objectives, strategies to strengthen integration of population and each objective, review of current related policies in the member countries, and further recommendations.
