The present publication, From Actions to Results: Implementation of the Nairobi Maafikiano in a Changing Environment, has been prepared to take stock of implementation of the Nairobi Maafikiano one and a half years into the new mandate of UNCTAD, approved by member States in July 2016. The stocktaking undertaken by the UNCTAD secretariat is presented in part one.
The strategic directions of part two chart the actions that UNCTAD shall pursue as it prepares for the midterm review of implementation of the Nairobi Maafikiano in 2018, and as the organization embarks on the road to the fifteenth session of the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development, continuing to intensify its efforts towards supporting implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, the commitments under the Addis Ababa Action Agenda and other relevant internationally agreed outcomes.
This publication is furthermore intended to serve as a reference tool for the UNCTAD secretariat and to inform all stakeholders. A revitalized UNCTAD will be better placed to serve the needs of developing countries in fulfilling the mandate of UNCTAD of addressing the division of the world into pockets of poverty and of plenty, through gainful integration of developing countries into the world economy.
