To ensure an inclusive consultation process, a wide range of stakeholders, including government ministries, line departments, civil societies, non–government organizations, UN organizations, and academia, were engaged
in the process of completing the Voluntary National Survey on ICPD. Consultative workshops were organized in each province, followed by a national workshop and, finally, a validation meeting to develop consensus on achievements, challenges, and recommendations around the priority areas of the ICPD Plan of Action.
