AP-MDGs-Social is a Community of Practice on Social Inclusion, Gender Equality and Health in the MDGs. It aims to serve as a venue and forum for the exchange of region-specific views, policy-oriented analysis and knowledge on gender, health, social integration, population and development with a view to strengthening national efforts towards achieving the MDGs. Its discussions are geared toward experts from regional, intergovernmental and UN agencies and organizations, academia, government, civil society and other sectors. more
Working Groups
A working group is an interdisciplinary collaboration of practitioners working on achieving certain goals. Such goals to be achieved may include creation of a working paper and report, or solution of problems related to the issues.
The working group may assemble experts (and future experts) on a topic together for intensive work. It is not an avenue for briefing novices about the subject matter. Occasionally, a group might admit a person with little experience and a lot of enthusiasm. However, such participants should be present as observers.

Inequality
Welcome to the discussion on Policy Dialogues on Inequality. This timely discussion will be driven by four country papers and a regional synopsis, which will lead up to a regional conference on 5-7 December in Colombo, Sri Lanka. The goal of this exchange is to broaden the discussion to include MDG practitioners working throughout the Asia Pacific region. Below you will find links to the five topics. We encourage you to visit each topic and we value your participation in this exchange.
Hunger
The AP-MDG-CoP partnered with the UNDP-FAO Hunger Campaign to facilitate an exchange between MDG practitioners in the region on hunger in the Asia Pacific. Within this group please find the archive to our discussion on hunger, along with outputs from the UNDP-FAO Hunger Campaign. Analysis of the discussion will be printed as a UNDP RCC Hunger Briefing Paper in early 2009 and the next phase of discussion will continue soon afterwards.
