This National ASRH&R Framework Strategy resonates with the vision of the Population Policy for South Africa (1998) which is “to contribute towards the establishment of a society that provides a high and equitable quality of life for all South Africans in which population trends are commensurate with sustainable socio-economic and environmental development.” The goal of the Population Policy is “to bring about changes in the determinants of the country's population trends, so that these trends are consistent with the achievement of sustainable human development.”
