United Nations Population Fund in Pakistan has offered collaboration in the area of population management in the country.

The offer was extended by Country Representative of UNFPA Pakistan Dr. Luay Shabaneh during a meeting with Minister for Human Rights Riaz Hussain Pirzada in Islamabad on Monday.

The Minster said Pakistan is a country with population mismanagement and disproportionate growth and there is need for interventions, awareness, and more funds allocation on the subject.

He said collaboration with international partners is inevitable for addressing this challenge.

They also exchanged views on the issue of population planning, its impact on economic growth, gender equality and support from the UNFPA for population planning and development.
