Within the UN context

In the framework of the follow-up of the World Summit for Social Development: Influencing decision-making in the area of social policies

During the 40th session of the UN Commission for Social Development (2002), a request for more input from social science research and related best-practices to appropriately contribute to the formulation of social policies was among the issues emphasized. The review of the Copenhagen and Geneva Summits on social development is of importance for MOST Phase II in order to draw attention to the evidence-based policy-making priority.

MOST's added value in the Copenhagen process consists in its feeding policy-relevant research results into various UN and regional bodies active in agenda-setting, formulating, implementing and evaluating social policies.

In close cooperation with inter alia the UN Division for Social Policy and Development, research and policy networks, the CSD (Commission for Social Development) is regurlarly informed of MOST Phase II development, agenda-setting and social science research results impacting social policies. Particular attention was paid to the Copenhagen + 10 review process (February 2005), on the road to the UN system wide Millennium Development Goals +5 review (September 2005)
