Population and human settlements

Major activities of the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) in 1991 focused on maternal/ child health care and family planning; information, education and communication; basic data collection; utilization of population data and research for policy formulation and development planning; and women, population and development. Special programme interests were dominated by continued efforts to control the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) pandemic and activities to improve understanding of the link between population and environmental concerns. UNFPA assisted some 3,900 technical cooperation projects of country, regional and intercountry nature. It approved 287 new country projects, amounting to $28.3 million.
