The Forum is a platform for ministers and other policy makers to discuss experiences in social development and social protection, challenges and opportunities presented by the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, and how policies should be transformed to respond to human well-being challenges in the region.

At the same time, ECLAC, UNDP and the Government of the Dominican Republic are hosting the First Meeting of the Presiding Officers of the Regional Conference on Social Development in Latin America and the Caribbean in Santo Domingo. The Meeting’s overall goal is to improve social development policy and technical expertise in the region by promoting cooperation between national governments.
