Inter-American Parliamentary Group on Population and Development

The IAPG is a regional network of parliamentarians from the Western Hemisphere, whose members are committed to working on population and development issues. The IAPG network has a parliamentary group in each country, whose individual members work together across party lines to promote laws and policies that guarantee the equitable development of women, men, adolescents and children in all countries in the Americas.

Member parliamentary groups in the network work to implement the International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) Program of Action and other international instruments adopted by governments at United Nations conferences, and to achieve the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). Each group must be representative of its parliament, have at least three members from different political parties, indistinctively women and men. They must also put together a mission and action plan, meet periodically, designate a coordinator and establish a local secretariat with at least one person to provide administrative support.
