3-5 July 2006
Geneva, Switzerland.
The 2006 World Summit put the goals of full employment and decent work firmly back into the United Nations development agenda. It demonstrated that there is a solid consensus that in order to achieve the internationally agreed development goals, including the MDGs, employment and decent work need to be at the centre of economic and social policies.
This year's high-level segment again attracted many high-level participants. The High-level Segment included high-level roundtable discussions and breakfast meetings, which were organized from the 3-5 July 2006. In addition, the Council held two informal ministerial roundtables on the annual ministerial review and the biennial High-Level Development Cooperation Forum respectively. The Annual Ministerial Review (AMR) assessed progress in the implementation of the internationally agreed development goals, including the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).
The MDG exhibition was held during the event. The purpose of the exhibition was to advocate and communicate the key findings of the second Regional MDG Report to the high-level delegates/policy-makers of the ECOSOC Annual Ministerial Review Roundtable.
