November 1, 2001 - June 30, 2002
Cosponsored with the United Nations Development Programme.
This monthly series examines contemporary challenges to poverty alleviation in the Third World and explores ways to make the development process more effective. Past sessions have dealt with Afghanistan, the Monterey Conference on Development, the case for universal education, the relationship between democracy and development, and the need to address health concerns in the developing world. The roundtable serves mainly as a forum to raise awareness and foster a dialogue on development issues among New York-based members and agencies.
