51³Ô¹Ï

ECOSOC Coordination Segment 2005

“Towards achieving internationally agreed development goals, including those contained in the Millennium Declaration”

The coordination segment provided an opportunity to review the contribution of the 51³Ô¹Ï system, at all levels, towards the follow-up and implementation of the internationally agreed development goals, including those contained in the 51³Ô¹Ï Millennium Declaration.

A general debate on the theme of the coordination segment was held on 6 July 2005 following the presentation of the Report of the Secretary-General on the themes of the high-level and coordination segments. 1

3 Panel events were held during the segment:

• July 5 ( 3pm-6pm ) : “Achieving the internationally agreed development goals: improving the way the 51³Ô¹Ï system works"
• July 7 ( 10am-1pm ) : “Implementing the internationally agreed development goals, including those contained in the Millennium declaration: perspectives and strategies”
• July 7 (3pm-6-pm) : Discussion of the Chairpersons of the Functional Commissions and other subsidiary bodies of the ECOSOC.

1 In view of the close link between the themes for the high-level and the coordination segments of the Council, and in order to rationalise the documentation in preparation for the substantive session, it has been decided that the reporting and recommendations of the Secretary-General for both segments be consolidated in a single comprehensive document.
