POPULATION PRIZENew York, May 2 2013 12:00PMAn academic institution
associated with the Al-Azhar University in Egypt and a public health
advocate from Uganda are this year's recipients of the annual United
Nations Population Award, the UN agency dealing with global population
issues has <"http://www.unfpa.org/public/home/news/pid/13694">announced.

The International Islamic Centre for Population Studies and Research
and Dr. Jotham Musinguzi of Uganda, were chosen by the Population
Award Committee, a body administered by the UN Population Fund
(UNFPA), in recognition of their contributions to improving public
health.

Established by the General Assembly in 1981, the award is given
annually to individuals and institutions for outstanding contributions
to population concerns and their solutions.

Founded in 1975, the International Islamic Centre for Population
Studies and Research conducts population studies and research in
Muslim countries and provides accurate information about Islam and
dispels misconceptions, particularly regarding population policies and
programmes.

The Centre, which integrates family planning and bioethics, works in
all parts of the Islamic world, and has been active in efforts to
eradicate female genital mutilation/cutting.

Dr. Musinguzi is a strong advocate of reproductive health as a major
component of social and economic development. He played a major role
in drafting the Programme of Action of the International Conference on
Population and Development (ICPD) in Cairo in 1994, and was actively
involved in negotiations on the anti-poverty targets known as the
Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).

He also played a major role in preparing the Maputo Plan of Action,
which was adopted by the African Union in 2006 to help achieve the
MDGs in Africa, and contributed to the success of the 2012 London
Summit on Family Planning.

The 2012 Population Awards will be presented at UN Headquarters in New
York in June.

Past winners include philanthropists Bill and Melinda Gates, Iranian
demographer Mohammad Jalal Abbasi-Shavazi and Dame Billie Antoinette
Miller, a former foreign minister of Barbados.May 2 2013 12:00PM
