The All Party Parliamentary Group for Population and Development
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.
