2005 – 2019 NPFDB Research Activity Report

One of the primary functions of the National Population and Family Development Board (NPFDB) is to promote and conduct population, family and reproductive health research. Over the years, NPFDB has conducted many surveys and studies on these thematic areas to provide data to researchers for in-depth analysis. These research findings are used to advise the Government on matters relating to policies and programmes. Modules and intervention programmes on family development were developed from the findings and recommendations from these studies.

This report highlights the research programmes an activities conducted by NPFDB over the past 15 years in
three thematic areas – Population, Family Development and Reproductive Health. It provides a complete listing of research and dissemination activities, and these include the surveys and studies conducted, as well as conferences and seminars organised by NPFDB.
