UNDESA in collaboration with ESCWA and ECLAC is organizing an inter-regional workshop on “Revisiting socio-economic policies to address poverty in all its dimensions in middle-income countries”.
The workshop aims to examine national experiences in developing coherent and integrated socio-economic policy frameworks to address poverty in its multiple dimensions, within the context of the 2030 Agenda for sustainable development, and identify common challenges, good practices and lessons learned with an aim to improve evidence-based policy-making. Discussions will also address capacity and institutional gaps facing countries in the reform and implementation of poverty reduction policies.  
The workshop will contribute to enhance the knowledge of participants and help DESA, ESCWA and ECLAC to identify a set of recommendations to develop a framework to support countries at policy and analysis level to address poverty in all its dimensions
