The United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) proposes to support a population programme over the period 1998-2002 to assist the Government of Equatorial Guinea in achieving its population and development objectives. UNFPA proposes to fund the programme in the amount of $2.5 million from UNFPA regular resources, to the extent such resources are available. This will be UNFPA's third cycle of assistance to Equatorial Guinea.
