EAA’s statement was chosen by the UN’s 50th Session of the Commission for Social Development on Poverty Eradication!

The Commission for Social Development is a functional commission of the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) of the United Nations. Since the convening of the World Summit for Social Development in Copenhagen in 1995, the Commission has been the key UN body in charge of the follow-up and implementation of the Copenhagen Declaration and Programme of Action. It meets once a year in New York, usually in February.
 
Each year, the Commission takes up key social development themes as part of its follow-up to the outcome of the Copenhagen Summit.
The 50th Session of the Commission for Social Development will be held from 1 to 10 February 2012, in New York. This year’s priority theme is “Poverty Eradication.”

On February 2, EAA staffs attended a general discussion session by representatives from all over the world.
Each ministers presented a brief statement for poverty reduction with unique cases, experiments, and plans from their own countries.
EAA staffs were able to experience and see how the world society collaborates with each other to mitigate the further poverty issues.
Furthermore, we are thrilled to announce that our NGO statement was chosen by the UN’s 50th Session of the Commission for Social Development.
