Follow-up to the conference

The Programme of Action, adopted by consensus by 179 Governments in September 1994, urged countries to fully and effectively implement the Programme of Action through appropriate and relevant policies and programmes at the national level. Furthermore, implementation should be promoted at the subregional and regional levels, with attention to specific subregional and regional strategies and needs. The Programme of Action asked for full and consistent support, including financial and technical assistance, from the international community, including the United Nations system, for all efforts directed towards the implementation of the Programme of Action.
