ESCWA is holding a three-day Workshop on "Investment in the Information and Communication Technology Sector," from 5 to 7 May 2009 in Cairo. The meeting is organized in collaboration with the Egyptian Ministry of Communication and Information Technology (MCIT), and will be held at MCIT premises, Smart Village B1, Cairo-Alexandria Desert Road, Giza, Cairo, Egypt.

To celebrate the World Environment Day 2011, Greening the Blue – a UN program to make all its agencies climate neutral and green - and the UN Photographic Society have joined forces to launch the first in-house photographic competition that celebrates and inspires efforts to make the UN more sustainable. Visions of a Sustainable UN is the central theme of this photo competition. The competition provides an opportunity to raise the profile of existing green activities taking place within the UN, and will enable everyone to share their ideas of what a greener UN might look like.

On 28 January 2016, the Centre for Syrian Studies at the University of Saint Andrews, the United Kingdom, and ESCWA joined hands to sign a letter of understanding (LOU) on the bilateral cooperation concerning the National Agenda for the Future of Syria (NAFS) programme launched by ESCWA in 2012.

Speak your mind in pictures! If you have ideas for a more sustainable UN and fancy yourself a photographer, share your pictures with us and be an agent of change.
