The Philippine Population Program: an overview.
Since 1970 the Philippine population program has made considerable achievements in its effort to curb the country's high fertility rate.  The program presently aims to attain a population growth rate of 2.0% in 1992 and eventually achieve replacement fertility for the country by the year 2000.  To achieve these rates, the program has set into motion the so-called "high scenario" targets of greatly increasing the overall rates of use-effectiveness of program methods of contraception.  The program continues to be guided by policies implemented since its start, as well as by new ones in resonse to recent developments.  Though the program continues to receive funds from international donors, the Philippine government's share in the funding has steadily increased.
