| Establishing
a Social Development Management Information System: Issues
and Perspectives: [ST/ESCAP/1953] 1999
At the Fifth Asian and Pacific Ministerial Conference on
Social Development, convened by ESCAP in Manila from 5 to
11 November 1997, governments from the region decided on
the need to further accelerate the implementation of the
Agenda for Action on Social Development in the ESCAP Region.
One of the actions taken was to establish a social development
information system to support the monitoring and evaluation
of social development programmes.
This publication highlights pertinent issues and perspectives
in a preliminary framework for countries interested in developing
an integrated social development management information
system by which to monitor social conditions in the country,
to assess the progress made towards attaining the social
development goals and targets to which they have committed
themselves in the Regional Social Development Agenda and
to make any necessary policy and programmes adjustments
to accelerate social progress.
