The Committee for Development Policy (CDP) is a subsidiary body of the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC). Established in 1998, the CDP provides independent advice to the Council on emerging cross-sectoral development issues and on international cooperation for development. The Committee is also responsible for reviewing the status of Least Developed Countries (LDCs) and monitoring their progress.
Mandate and Functions[edit | edit source]
The CDP's primary mandate is to provide expert analysis and policy recommendations to ECOSOC on a wide range of development issues. This includes:
- Analyzing global development trends and their implications for international cooperation.
- Reviewing the criteria for the identification of LDCs and monitoring their progress towards graduation.
- Advising on the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
- Addressing emerging issues that affect the development prospects of countries, such as climate change, inequality, and technological change.
Membership[edit | edit source]
The Committee is composed of 24 experts nominated by the Secretary-General of the United Nations and appointed by ECOSOC for a term of three years. Members are selected based on their expertise in various fields of development, including economics, social policy, and environmental sustainability.
Meetings and Reports[edit | edit source]
The CDP meets annually to discuss its work program and to prepare its report to ECOSOC. The Committee's reports are influential in shaping the Council's policy decisions and are often used as a basis for further discussions in the United Nations General Assembly.
Impact and Contributions[edit | edit source]
The CDP has played a significant role in shaping international development policy. Its work on the LDC category has been particularly impactful, providing a framework for international support measures for these countries. The Committee's analysis and recommendations have also contributed to the global discourse on sustainable development and the implementation of the SDGs.
