During the meeting PCC made a SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats) of reproductive health, population and development issues in their respective countries, and then had the opportunity to discussed common elements among countries. Participants also revisited the alliance’s mission, trying to figure it out whether it is still valid and analysing needs for improvement due to the changing global environmental situation.
