Congratulations to the First Round Winning Photos on Maternal and Child Health
World Population to Reach 7 Billion on 31 October

Phnom Penh : World population is projected to reach 7 billion on 31 October 2011, according to the 2010 Revision of World Population Prospects prepared by the United Nations Population Division.

To observe the 22nd World Population Day and launch the Campaign, “The World of 7 Billion: Young People Forging the Future -Realizing their sexual and reproductive health and rights”.UNFPA, the United Nations Population Fund and the Cambodian Center for Independent Media are delighted to congratulate the 8 winners of photo competition: Maternal and Child Health for the first-round selection. The three winners will be selected and awarded in one of campaign activities in August.

The United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) in collaboration with Khmer Youth and Social Development Organization (KYSD) and Cambodian Center for Independent Media (CCIM) is planning a series of activities to engage young people and empower them in social development. The Campaign will run from July to October 2011, and will include:
  • Celebrating young people’s inspiring stories
  • Street campaigning
  • Youth outreach
  • Bus campaign
  • Youth forum
  • 7 billion day
The launch will be held on 7 July 2011 at Cambodian Center for Independent Media, house no. 14A, Street 392, Boeng Keng Kang I, Chamkarmon, Phnom Penh at 1600 hrs.

“A world of 7 billion is both a challenge and an opportunity”, said UNFPA Executive Director, Dr. Babatunde Osotimehin. “Globally, people are living longer, healthier lives and choosing to have smaller families. But reducing inequalities and finding ways to ensure the well-being of people alive today – as well as the generations that follow – will require new ways of thinking and unprecedented global cooperation,” he said. The campaign is to call for actions individually to solve problems now. As we are part of the world, our action can have an immediate impact on the other part of the globe. Action can reduce inequalities and find new ways to preserve peace and development for our community and planet.
