    Statement by FAO, ILO, UNESCO, UNIDO and WHO to the ECOSOC informal session of the ECOSOC Dialogue on the longer-term positioning of the UN Development System 1st July 2016 Check against delivery Mr Vice President, distinguished delegates, Thank you for the opportunity to express our views in this informal session. I am pleased to speak on behalf of the following group of UN specialized agencies: the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), the International Labour Organization (ILO), the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) and the World Health Organization (WHO). Our agencies are active members in the United Nations Development Group (UNDG) and have participated with great interest and commitment in the UNDG discussions in relation to the ECOSOC Dialogue on the longer-term positioning of the United Nations Development System. As we approach the end of the ECOSOC Dialogue and the beginning of the QCPR negotiations, specialized agencies would like to reiterate our strong commitment to a UNDS that works together in a coherent, efficient and integrated manner to support the needs of Member States. Our agencies have understood very well the message that “business as usual is not an option” and have been working within our individual governance structures to ensure that our memberships are informed and consulted on the implications of the 2030 Agenda and challenges ahead for the UNDS. As mandated by our Governing Bodies, we have already taken measures to mainstream the SDGs in our respective programmes and budgets and to maximize our contribution to the delivery of the 2030 Agenda.

  • World Fertility and Family Planning 2020: Highlights (ST/ESA/SER.A/440)
    World Fertility and Family Planning 2020 Highlights ST/ESA/SER.A/440 Department of Economic and Social Affairs Population Division World Fertility and Family Planning 2020 Highlights United Nations New York, 2020 The Department of Economic and Social Affairs of the United Nations Secretariat is a vital interface between global policies in the economic, social and environmental spheres and national action. The Department works in three main interlinked areas: (i) it compiles, generates and analyses a wide range of economic, social and environmental data and information on which States Members of the United Nations draw to review common problems and take stock of policy options; (ii) it facilitates the negotiations of Member States in many intergovernmental bodies on joint courses of action to address ongoing or emerging global challenges; and (iii) it advises interested Governments on the ways and means of translating policy frameworks developed in United Nations conferences and summits into programmes at the country level and, through technical assistance, helps build national capacities. The Population Division of the Department of Economic and Social Affairs provides the international community with timely and accessible population data and analysis of population trends and development outcomes for all countries and areas of the world. To this end, the Division undertakes regular studies of population size and characteristics and of all three components of population change (fertility, mortality and migration). Founded in 1946, the Population Division provides substantive support on population and development issues to the United Nations General Assembly, the Economic and Social Council and the Commission on Population and Development. It also leads or participates in various interagency coordination mechanisms of the United Nations system.

UNICEF funds come entirely from voluntary contributions. We take this opportunity to thank the millions of people, including our government partners, civil society and the private sector, who contributed to UNICEF’s funds this year. Without your support, our work would not have been possible. Your contributions have a wide impact and allow us to deliver on our mandate to advocate for the protection of children’s rights, to help meet their basic needs, and to expand their opportunities to reach their full potential. We also extend special and warm thanks to our partners who contributed to UNICEF’s thematic funding. Thematic funding was critical this year and will continue to be an essential tool that allows UNICEF the flexibility and predictability to deliver technical, operational and programming support to children across the world. By entrusting us with this funding, you have made many of the results in this report possible and have furthered our mandate to reach the most vulnerable children.
