Thematic clusters
ECESA is organised in 11 thematic clusters.
This structure allows not only for the programme managers internally to share information and
avoid duplication, but also the clusters to reinforce their common goals and work together around
key strategic objectives to advance the UN development agenda and the follow-up
to the 2005 World Summit and earlier UN conferences and summits.
