Lagos — Network on Population and Development Issues (NPDI), a Non-governmental Organization (NGO), has described as worrisome the erroneous impression of some people about the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) and the use of population to address some critical issues on women's health in the African continent.
The group in a recent statement expressed regrets that some writers do not understand the role played by UNFPA in the use of population to address the poor state of maternal health, stressing that it can no longer continue to fold its arms while most people hold on to such misconception.
The statement quoted the group as saying that some people were only being mischievous in their conclusion that UNFPA and other domestic and international NGOs use family planning and abortion as weapon to enhance women's reproductive health, stressing that, abortion has never been listed as an agenda in any of the documentation produced by UNFPA or other NGOs.
The statement noted that what UNFPA does is to use population as an instrument of development to enhance the quality of life of the people, whether such population is high or low.
It said for example certain questions must come to mind, such as: does one plan for his/her salary when he/she collects it at the end of the month? Doesn't he/she have dependants who before and at the end of the month put demands on him/her for money? How does such person feel when his/her children go to school and take last position? Does the person feel that he/she has wasted money and resources on such a child?
The statement said the questions above are pertinent when the line of argument of NPDI is taken into perspective and the picture painted above could be likened to what exists in African communities and the Sub-Saharan African.
This, according to the statement is what the international community has committed so much resources to in the continent to get it developed and be at par with other regions of the world but regrettably to no avail or at best, at a very snail-speed, insisting that abortion has never been listed as agenda in any of the documentation produced by UNFPA.
The group argues that UNFPA has never embarked on population reduction campaign, which some writers adopt as 'reductionist' approach to an issue that affects humanity in all ramifications, stressing that what is important is for one to plan his house, as according to the group, population is not just about number but about the quality of life.
"High number of people contained in a sparse of land is not all that matters but the plan for them with regards to housing, education, water, health, food, climatic conditions and economic empowerment," it noted.
