Coming Up Short: Struggling to Implement the Cairo Programme of Action The 1994 International Conference on Population and Development, agreed that international donors should contribute one third of the $17 billion needed annually by the year 2000 for population and reproductive health programmes. UNFPA projects a continued financial shortfall would likely lead to over 100 million additional unwanted pregnancies during 1995-2000, resulting in hundreds of thousands of maternal deaths, millions of infant deaths and tens of millions of abortions.
