2012 REGIONAL MEETINGS ON ECOSOC ANNUAL MINISTERIAL REVIEW
Regional meetings are key preparatory activities leading to the ECOSOC Annual Ministerial Review (AMR). They focus on a topic related to the AMR theme that is of particular relevance to the region hosting the consultations and facilitate: a) exchange of views among different stakeholders; b) review of regional progress and challenges; c) sharing of good practices; d) generation of action-oriented recommendations; and e) identification of regional perspectives to be reflected in the AMR.
Five regional meetings will be organized in preparation for the 2012 AMR:
- Asia and the Pacific Regional Preparatory Meeting on “Rethinking productive capacity, employment and decent work in Asia and the Pacific: a new regional approach to sustained, inclusive and equitable growth and achieving the MDGs”, Kyoto, Japan, 7 December 2011
