title: Sexual and Reproductive Health at 2015 and Beyond: A Global Perspective.
abstract: The International Conference on Population and Development and Millennium Development Goals propelled reproductive health into priorities for international development through declarations, statements, and frameworks. However, key indicators demonstrate that progress in both service provision and clinical outcomes has not been optimal, especially for certain disadvantaged groups. With the Sustainable Development Goals, efforts over the next two decades will focus on access to and quality of health services. Advocacy for mobilizing resources will be complemented by accountability, especially monitoring and evaluation, for utilization of these resources during the life cycle. Stakeholders should emphasize national commitments, with broad partnerships, to ensure long-term sustainability.
