| The
ten founding members (Bangladesh,
Colombia, Egypt, Indonesia, Kenya,
Mexico, Morocco, Thailand, Tunisia
and Zimbabwe) were countries that
had received international recognition
for advancing development through
their successful population policies,
family planning programs and health
services. Since then, the organization
has expanded to include Benin, China,
Ethiopia, the Gambia, India, Mali,
Pakistan, Uganda, Ghana, Senegal,
Nigeria, South Africa, Jordan, Yemen
and Vietnam broadening the reach of
PPD to over half of the world’s
population.
PPD
welcomes new members to increase the
momentum of its efforts. Full Membership
is open to governments of developing
countries and countries in transition
who have demonstrated a strong commitment
to the ICPD POA. Members contribute
US$ 40,000 annually to the organization’s
budget and must be prepared to invest
human and financial resources in support
of their participation in the agenda
to fulfill the ICPD and MDG goals.
Member
countries appoint a representative
to the PPD board, usually the highest-ranking
officials in charge of RH matters,
i.e. Minister or government leader
of similar rank. They also designate
an official to function as Partner
Country Coordinator (PCC). The PCC
is the focal point for developing
and implementing South- South Collaborative
Programs.
