acknowledges that without a firm, rights-based approach to development, reproductive health, and gender equality, it will not be possible to meet the goals of either the ICPD or the Sustainable Development Goals;

accepts the responsibility of the United States, as the largest funder of global health, to encourage the goals of ICPD among other countries and set a global example through United States funding and policies;

urges the United States Government to demonstrate its commitment to the vision outlined in the ICPD Programme of Action by reinstating funding for UNFPA, the lead United Nations agency focused on sexual and reproductive health, and by rescinding harmful policies, such as the Mexico City Policy and its multiple expansions; and

encourages the international community to adopt a bold vision for comprehensive sexual and reproductive health and rights at the 2019 Nairobi Summit to mark the 25th anniversary of the ICPD Programme of Action.
