Committee for Development Policy (CDP)

The Chair of the CDP presented the key messages of the CDP’s 2025 report, stressing the need for strengthened multilateral action to face historical challenges and structural shifts, conveying the CDP's recommendations on poverty measurement ahead of WSSD2, and reporting on the need to improve support to LDCs, including graduating countries.

On 10 June, at its Management Segment, ECOSOC adopted its resolution on the report of the Committee for Development Policy (CDP) at its 27th session.

In the second CDP Issue Brief, Sabina Alkire discusses the potential of data for poverty eradication and the opportunities for WSSD2 to act on that potential.

The report addresses new contexts and pathways for development, financing for development, trade as engine for sustainable development, and human and social development. It also addresses challenges faced by LDCs, proposals to strengthen the LDC graduation framework; and the monitoring of countries that are graduating or have recently graduated from the LDC category.
