As expressed in the Millennium
Declaration, reducing poverty is one of the main priorities
of the United Nations and of this Commission.
More than two-thirds of the world’s poor people live
in the Asian and Pacific region.
 UNESCAP,
through a blend of research and operational activities,
analyses, tests, documents and disseminates good
and innovative policies and practices in poverty
reduction and shares that knowledge and advice with
its members.- UNESCAP provides practical
assistance in adapting and replicating proven good
practices and programmes in poverty reduction that
target the most vulnerable groups in society, including
women.
- UNESCAP monitors and analyses
global, regional and sub-regional economic and social
trends and development issues that have an impact
on poverty levels.
- UNESCAP also works to strengthen
the statistical infrastructure in countries of the
region and helps them monitor their progress towards
achieving the Millennium Development Goals.
