The Resource Flows (RF) project was established in 1997 and is a joint collaboration between The United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) and the Netherlands Interdisciplinary Demographic Institute (NIDI). The aim of the RF project is to monitor global financial flows for population and AIDS activities.

Why the RF Project?

The RF project stems from the Programme of Action agreed upon at the International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD, 1994) and is reinforced by the Declaration of Commitment developed at the United Nations General Assembly Special Session on HIV/AIDS (UNGASS, 2001). The two conferences outlined the financial resources required to address population and AIDS issues world-wide and committed the international community to these requirements. The RF project was established to monitor expenditures related to population and AIDS and to advocate for the mobilisation of adequate funds to ensure that ICPD and UNGASS promises are realised.


“The Millennium Development Goals, particularly the eradication of extreme poverty and hunger, cannot be achieved if questions of population and reproductive health are not squarely addressed. And that means stronger efforts to promote women's rights, and greater investment in education and health, including reproductive health and family planning.” Posted by: Resource Flows on Thu, 23 Sep 2004 11:47:07 United Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan, Bangkok, December 2002	What is the RF Project?
