EGM on Strategies for Eradicating Poverty to Achieve the SDGs, 1-3 June 2016

UNDESA DSPD is organizing an Expert Group Meeting (EGM) on the priority theme of the fifty-fifth session of the Commission for Social Development (CSocD), from 1 to 3 June 2016 at UN Headquarters in New York. The Commission  will focus on strategies for eradicating poverty to achieve sustainable development for all during the two-year review and policy cycle for the 2017 and 2018 sessions. Poverty is a challenge faced by the least developed countries, middle-income and developed countries alike; hence the review will cover all categories of countries. This expert meeting is organized to provide expert inputs to prepare for this important task. The outcomes of the meeting will provide important inputs to the Report of the Secretary-General on the priority theme by providing concrete, evidence-based reviews of poverty eradication strategies, highlighting those strategies that have been effective and those that have not and will draw lessons that will spur efforts to eradicate poverty within the context of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
