Organized in conjunction with the 55th session of the Commission for Social Development, this side-event will focus on how high and rising inequalities hinders progress in poverty eradication and efforts to enhance social inclusion.
In addition to presenting the outcome of the MOST Ministerial Forum in Cameroon, and the forthcoming MOST Ministerial Forum in Malaysia, this side-event will discuss:
