“Program service activity #4: women & population and children's health: the better world fund's women and population program works with the united nations foundation, united nations and civil society to support achievement of "universal access to reproductive health services and supplies" -- the central goal established at the united nations international conference on population and development (icpd), adopted in 1994. To advance this goal, the better world fund's women and population program is involved in: supporting and strengthening united nations agencies; advancing the educational, economic and social services and opportunities available to adolescent girls; ensuring availability of reproductive health supplies; and advocating for empirically-based strategies that address the challenges posed by demographic change and insufficient availability of reproductive health and rights around the world. The better world fund's children's health program assists the united nations foundation and united nations in their efforts to ensure that all children have the means and the opportunity to develop to their full potential. Our major priorities are decreasing childhood mortality through community-based programs and utilizing public-private partnerships to strengthen the public health infrastructure to control infectious diseases such as polio, measles and malaria. Expenses: $6,143; grants: none; revenue: none.”
