UNICEF and The Graduate Program in International Affairs at The New School: Rethinking Poverty: Making Policies That Work For Children

 Organization: UNICEF and The Graduate Program in International Affairs at The New School

Description:
UNICEF and The Graduate Program in International Affairs at The New School Present the 4th Annual International Conference

Rethinking Poverty: Making Policies That Work For Children

April 21-23, 2008
Theresa Lang Center, Arnhold Hall
55 West 13th Street, 2nd Floor, New York, NY

What: The specific aim of the 2008 Conference is to review and mobilize the agenda on child poverty and disparity.

Why: The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) mark an international commitment to eradicating extreme poverty and hunger, and to fostering global collaboration. Despite some progress towards the MDGs targets, millions of children remain outside of the policy agenda and unaffected by the progress.

How: The Conference will create a space for peer consultation among UNICEF international staff, New School faculty and students, other academic and research institutions, NGO practitioners, and other external experts. Further, the Conference will include and extend work being done by UNICEF’s Global Study on "Child Poverty and Social Disparities."

The Conference is free of charge and open to the public.
