 THE DEVELOPMENT CONTEXT |
The Millennium Development Goals have galvanised the development agenda around a set of time-bound targets to bring equality and development to the people. In order to achieve this, progress towards the MDGs must be measured in a way that represents the empowerment of women and the inclusion of vulnerable groups in society and functioning health systems. This Development Account project driven by ESCAP will address this gap between global targets and regional realities to strengthen policies and programmes for inclusion of socially vulnerable groups, promotion of gender equality and health in the Five Regional Commissions (RCs): ESCAP, ECA, ECE, ECLAC and ESCWA. more»

 ESCAP-MDGs DISCUSSION GROUP IS EXPANDING |
We would like to inform you that the ESCAP-MDGs mailing list discussion group will soon be migrating to a new platform that will enable us to provide you with more features and tools for discussion and information exchange.
The primary objective of the discussion group will remain the same. However, it will be expanded and converted into a Community of Practice (CoP) on social inclusion, gender equality and health in the MDGs, known as the AP-MDG-Social Community of Practice.
We are currently in the process of shifting all members of the ESCAP-MDGs mailing list discussion group to the new CoP, and will notify you by email as soon as the process is complete.
Meanwhile, if you would like to post a message to the group, please send an email to: ap-mdg-social@
mdgasiapacific.org
If you have any questions about the shift to the new CoP, or would like to notify us about a change of email address, please email the community facilitator at: sicat@un.org
If you are a new user who wishes to join the AP-MDG-Social community, please send an email requesting membership to:
ap-mdg-social@mdgasiapacific.org |
