SUMMARY:Trade and Development Board\, Sixty-sixth session
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:Inequality – a drag on reducing poverty and attaining the Sus
 tainable Development Goals\n\nThere has been growing recognition in recent
  years of the need to address inequality as one of the impediments to achi
 eving the global development agenda.\n\nOf special significance is the foc
 us on leaving no one behind that underlies the Sustainable Development Goa
 ls\, which represent a new impetus towards fighting poverty\, the universa
 lization of the global development agenda and the accomplishment of the de
 velopment aspirations and aims of the global community\, especially for de
 veloping countries.\n\nDeveloping countries face constraints in putting in
  place adequate policies and securing the diverse means required for the i
 mplementation of Sustainable Development Goal 10\, which includes effectiv
 e taxation policies\, domestic resource mobilization\, dealing with the ch
 allenges of attracting official development assistance and financial flows
 \, including foreign direct investment\, all in support of inclusive econo
 mic advancement and poverty reduction.\n\nAt the fourteenth session of the
  United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD 14)\, through 
 the Nairobi Maafikiano\, the international community mandated the revitali
 zation of the intergovernmental machinery of UNCTAD. Member States called 
 for deeper thinking and more constructive engagement to strengthen consens
 us-building on key issues on the UNCTAD agenda.\n\nThe Trade and Developme
 nt Board will thus examine what is needed\, from different policy angles\,
  to redress the disturbing inequality\, which has long-lasting and potenti
 ally profound negative implications for global growth and the eradication 
 of poverty by 2030.\n\nOn the eve of preparations for UNCTAD XV\, the high
 -level segment should stimulate discussion and reflection to contribute to
  making the forthcoming quadrennial conference as meaningful and impactful
  as possible.\n\nThe forthcoming high-level segment of the Trade and Devel
 opment Board will therefore focus on inequality as a drag on reducing pove
 rty in developing countries through the lens of the mandate of UNCTAD\, as
  the focal point in the United Nations for the integrated treatment of tra
 de and development and the interrelated issues of finance\, investment\, t
 echnology and sustainable development.\n\nThe discussions will address the
  following facets of this multidimensional challenge:\n\n\n\nMeans to achi
