REGIONAL MANDATES



In addition to providing regional support in the implementation of global mandates and international agreements, UNESCAP’s programme priorities also reflect various directives and mandates of the Commission.

These work programme priorities relate to various economic and social challenges that significantly confront the Asian and Pacific region, but which may not be reflected as priorities at the global level. Examples of these are:

Regional infrastructure development, with emphasis on the Asian Highway and the Trans-Asian Railway
Promotion of an inclusive, barrier-free and rights-based society for persons with disability in Asia and the Pacific
Development of intra-regional trade agreements, such as the Bangkok Agreement, and facilitating negotiation skills, compliance and accession to the WTO
Integration of Pacific Island developing countries
