Mesa-redonda de ministros de Desenvolvimento Social na UNESCO
UNESCO Ministros de Desenvolvimento Social de 18 países se reunirão em Paris, nos dias 16 e 17 de julho, para discutir maneiras de unir pesquisa em ciência social e o desenvolvimento de políticas visando aumentar a capacidade de governos de agir efetivamente para o bem-estar dos cidadãos e o desenvolvimento social de seus países.
Ministers of Social Development from Argentina, Brazil, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Egypt, Greece, Iran, Malaysia, Montenegro, Morocco, Pakistan, Senegal, South Africa, Sri Lanka, St Lucia, Uganda and Venezuela will participate in the round table on Monday afternoon and Tuesday afternoon. On Tuesday morning, the Minister of Education from Argentina and the Minister of Gender, Sports, Culture and Social Services from Kenya will also share their experiences in connecting research to policy development.
The establishment and implementation of these links is at the core of UNESCO’s MOST programme, which is the only United Nations programme devoted to helping Member States face today’s changing world through research in social science and public policy-making.
Contemporary states intervene ever more closely in the fabric of their societies to promote public health, to target social benefits, to address entrenched poverty, to adapt institutions and policies to the implications of ageing populations or new modes of education and knowledge. Such intervention requires detailed knowledge of social and economic reality and the ability to anticipate the appropriate policy responses. Since the bulk of this knowledge comes from the current social science research, the Ministers participating in the roundtable will collaborate to build solid bridges between social science communities and the policymakers in their countries.
As a result of a new strategy launched in 2004, MOST created new dialogue/exchange opportunities through the establishment of one international forum and 4 regional and sub-regional fora, which regularly bring together Ministers of Social Development, researchers and civil society representatives.
Responsible for the implementation of the programme, the MOST intergovernmental Council is composed of representatives from 35 Member States elected by UNESCO’s General Conference. It meets every second year to assess the programme’s achievements and to decide on future priority areas and activities. Its recommendations are presented to all of UNESCO’s Member States for adoption by the Organization’s General Conference, whose next session will take place in October 2007.
