Bangkok, United Nations Information Services (UNIS) – UNIS has produced a CD-ROM entitled The United Nations Works for Peace and Development. The CD-Rom contains an 8-minute video presentation and a document that provides a clear and complete picture of the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP).The audio-visual and document profile “ESCAP in the New Millenium”, illustrates how ESCAP functions and highlights its significant impact on the quality of life in Asia and the Pacific.
“We produced this electronic profile to assist the public in gaining a clear, up-to-date picture of ESCAP and how relevant the organization’s work is to the people and Governments in this region. We are making it available in digital format on a CD-ROM to provide greater flexibility in distribution and use, while also reducing paper consumption,” said UNIS Chief David Lazarus.
