Online discussion on the 2017 ECOSOC theme
The United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (DESA) and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) have launched an online discussion on the ECOSOC theme “Eradicating poverty in all its forms and dimensions through promoting sustainable development, expanding opportunities and addressing related challenges”.
The purpose of this discussion is to engage stakeholder groups, experts, practitioners and policy-makers from various regions in a global dialogue on specific aspects of the ECOSOC theme. The discussion consists of three concurrently running thematic windows with the aim to provide the ECOSOC with suggestions and recommendations on 1) eradicating poverty and leaving no one behind; 2) new evidence and innovations in poverty eradication efforts; and 3) systemic challenges and opportunities in eradicating poverty.
The discussion will be available until 12 April and can be accessed through the following link: https://www.globaldevhub.org/ECOSOC-2017.
