Dear Friends,
We
are pleased to inform you that the Division for Social
Policy and Development (DSPD) of the
United
Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs
(UN-DESA) has launched a new web portal (as a pilot
project) called United Nations Social Development
Network (UNSDN) to share knowledge and good practices
among social development professionals worldwide on
ageing, civil society, cooperatives, disability,
employment, family, indigenous peoples, poverty, social
integration, technology and youth. UNSDN is also
uniquely positioned to disseminate information and
knowledge produced by the United Nations system in the
area of social development, particularly on the three
core issues of poverty eradication, employment
generation and social integration. UNSDN will act as a
major interface between DESA and its partners working in
the areas of social development. DESA intends to
strengthen its relationships with its partners involved
in advancing the global social development agenda.
There is an increasing awareness that knowledge is
central to all development efforts as it empowers social
actors to find appropriate solutions to their own
challenges. By sharing knowledge, the portal aims to
assist Member States in the development of policies and
practices that promote the goals of the World Summit for
Social Development.
We, therefore, invite you to visit the portal and
explore how you can contribute to it and engage
effectively with DSPD-DESA and the United Nations system
as a whole. We want to strengthen our partnership and
deliver together on our global commitments. To that end,
we very much look forward to your suggestions, feedback
and recommendations on the use of this portal and the
way forward.
By
working together, we can build more prosperous societies
and a more just, equitable and sustainable world!
