Reproductive
Health, Economic Growth and Poverty Reduction (RHEGPR)
The
poverty burden in sub-Saharan Africa today is staggering.
There is growing international concern that Africa
will not achieve the Millennium Development Goals
(MDGs) by the year 2015. This concern is based on
dismal performance of sub-Saharan Africa, relative
to the rest of the world with respect to development
indicators such as growth in per capita income and
availability of basic human needs.
