It is based at United Nations Headquarters in New York in the Division for Inclusive Social Development (DISD) of the Department of Economic and Social Affairs (DESA). The functions of the Secretariat are designated in the General Assembly resolution 57/191. Its central function is to provide substantive assistance and support to the Forum in carrying out its mandate.
