The overarching goal of the All-Party Parliamentary Group for Population and Development (APPG) is to strengthen the political and financial commitment of the Bundestag and the Federal Government to implement the Agenda 2030 for Sustainable Development. The areas of health (SDG 3) and gender equality (SDG 5) are the focus.The APPG is of great importance to our political work in Germany. Since 2003, this cross-party and cross-committee body has been working on the interconnections between international development, health, poverty, and human rights. Members of the Bundestag are thus committed to advocating for Germany’s increased engagement in global health, including SRHR, neglected diseases and women’s health and rights and play a significant role in ensuring these topics are high on the parliamentary agenda.

Objectives of the APPG
The APPG supports the implementation of the Action Programme of the International Conference on Population and Development in Cairo, which was adopted by the international community in 1994.
Implementation of sexual and reproductive health and rights.
Access to voluntary family planning and protection against HIV and AIDS.
Girls’ and women’s rights as well as gender equality.
Universal access to youth-friendly health services and comprehensive sexuality education.
Addressing challenges related to population dynamics.
Promotion of research and development on poverty-related and neglected diseases.
To support young people and communities in low- and middle-income countries, give them access to sexual and reproductive health and rights, fight poverty and achieve the Sustainable Development Goals, we need to convince all decision-makers at all levels. We are working hard at local, national and international levels to advance this agenda.
