1 Symposia on Statistical Development in Africa
In 2006, Statistics South Africa and the UN Economics Commission for Africa (UNECA) organized the first international symposium on statistical development in Africa. The goal was to help restore statistical development in Africa, with a work program to develop frameworks for the participation of African countries in the 2010 round of population and housing censuses. A second meeting was held in Rwanda in January 2007. Country reports, presentations, and other documentation from these meetings can be found on the Stats Africa website.

The Maputo Plan of Action for universal access to comprehensive sexual and reproductive health services in Africa was presented at a special session of the African Union Conference of Ministers of Health in Maputo, Mozambique, 18-22 September 2006. The overall goal is to ensure that Africans have universal access to comprehensive sexual and reproductive health services in Africa by 2015; this document presents a short-term plan of action through 2010. It is available on the UNFPA website.
3 State of the African Population Report, 2006
The Africa Union Commission plans to produce bi-annual reports on the state of the African population. This report, published in September 2006, is the second in this series. Its focus is on the interrelationship between population and development-including linkages between population and poverty, education, gender, child health and mortality, HIV/AIDS and other diseases, and the environment. The report can be found on the South African Population and Development website.
