The Higher Population Council, in collaboration with the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), launched the first periodic report to monitor the performance indicators of the National Population Strategy (2021-2023). The report was unveiled during a meeting of the strategy’s steering and technical committee.

The council emphasized the importance of integrating demographic dimensions into the development process to balance population growth with available resources and achieve sustainable development goals. This approach, it noted, guided the preparation and government approval of the National Population Strategy.

The strategy focuses on understanding how demographic shifts impact economic and social development outcomes.
