The surge in the working-age population and the decline in the dependent population present Population change is influenced by level of births (fertility), countries with a unique demographic dividend that can be deaths and migration. Changes in total fertility rate (TFR) channeled to socioeconomic development when supported by have a bearing on the population stock. Of the Southern African appropriate policies and strategies related to health, education UMICs, Mauritius has the lowest total fertility rate (1.4), and employment. Of the Southern African UMICs, Mauritius placing it among seven of the selected HICs and other UMICs has the highest proportion of the working-age population (71%) with below replacement level fertility (that is TFR below 2). as well as a growing older population, similar to Singapore, China and Thailand (Figure 3).

The Soviets evidently believe that the victory of a Soviet-supported national liberation movement has increased Soviet prestige in the Third World. The Soviets probably hope that Angola—where a substan- tial Cuban presence will probably remain for some [Omitted here is text unrelated to Africa.] time—may also assist the USSR in providing Soviets an entree to other national liberation movements in southern Africa—such as SWAPO.

    U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service Equatorial Guinea Home to the fourth highest species richness of primates in Africa including many endemic subspecies. Unsustainable hunting is the single greatest threat to the majority of wildlife in Equatorial Guinea’s forests. Equatorial Guinea’s national development plan, Horizonte 2020, has led to rapid infrastructure development which also represents a severe threat to the country’s wildlife and their habitat. New road network exacerbate commercial bushmeat hunting and trade by increasing access to forests and urban bushmeat markets.

Background Equatorial Guinea and Vanuatu are earmarked for graduation, following the recommendations by the CDP which were endorsed by ECOSOC in 2009 and 2012, respectively, and taken note of by the General Assembly in December 2013 (A/RES/68/18). General Assembly resolution A/67/221 invites the Governments of countries that are graduating from the LDC category to report annually to the CDP on the preparation of the transition strategy. In this note, the Secretariat presents a brief monitoring to provide an update on current conditions of both countries, for CDP’s deliberation as requested by ECOSOC in its resolution 2013/20. Governments will be invited to submit reports to CDP on the overview of the preparation of smooth transition strategy later in the year, following GA resolution 67/221.
