Policy and Programme Perspectives in Implementing the Agenda for Action on Social Development in the ESCAP Region

ST/ESCAP/1714

To assist governments in formulating comprehensive, integrated plans and programmes and facilitating concerted implementation of the Agenda, the publication focuses on crucial policy issues and perspectives highlighted at the Regional Workshop on Guidelines for the Implementation of the Agenda for Action on Social Development in the ESCAP region, convened by ESCAP at Bangkok from 25 to 29 March 1996.

The publication consists of six chapters plus a section of annexes which provides the summary of the goals and targets in the Agenda, and summaries of three country studies commissioned by ESCAP for the Workshop.

The publication complements the volume entitled Guildelines for Implementing the Agenda for Action on Social Development in the ESCAP region (ST/ESCAP/1700), which contains specific operational guidelines for use by policy makers planners, and practitioners from various sectors involved in the region's social development efforts.
