    twig_convert_encoding('Rising inequalities in outcomes and opportunities are direct threats to the achievement of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Without the necessary tools to guide evidence-based policies related interventions may be less effective and more costly.
    
    With this in mind and the pledge of member States to Leave No One Behind, the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP) developed the Leaving No One Behind (LNOB) Platform, an innovative and easy-to-use online diagnostic tool for policymakers to measure inequalities in access to opportunities and identify the population groups left furthest behind in, for example, access to basic water, sanitation, clean energy and the Internet. It also developed a tailored training package, currently covering India, Mongolia, the Philippines, Tonga and Turkmenistan.
    
    On 26 and 27 May 2022, ESCAP in close collaboration with the UN Resident Coordinator’s Office in Tonga convened the training “An Introduction to the Leaving No One Behind (LNOB) Analysis” in Tonga. The training aims to teach participants to: (1) understand the Classification and Regression Tree (CART) methodology and how it is used to identify the furthest behind, and (2) understand the Dissimilarity Index (D-Index) and how it is calculated to provide a single numerical value that summarized inequality in a particular development area.  This first of two training modules focused on representatives from the Tonga Statistics Department. It covered inequalities in 16 specific SDG indicators, such as SDG 4.1 on upper secondary education completion and SDG 5.2 on violence against women. The training also covered issues on replication of results using various data sources such as MICS and HIES.  
    
    With the Government’s Statistics Department located directly under the purview of the Prime Minister’s Office, it is expected that the ESCAP platform and training will prove helpful in strengthening Tonga’s evidence-based policymaking.

    Note to Editors:
    
    The ESCAP Leaving No One Behind (LNOB) Platform is an easy-to-use online diagnostic tool that policymakers can use to measure inequalities and identify the population groups furthest behind in, for example, education completion, health care access, access to basic water, sanitation, clean energy and financial inclusion. Leaving no one behind means moving beyond assessing average and aggregate progress, towards ensuring progress for all population groups at a disaggregated level. The analysis in the Platform is produced using the Classification and Regression Tree (CART) analysis. The result is granular information on how various circumstances intersect to create distinct groups with different levels of access to basic opportunities. The Platform also presents inequality of opportunity in each country and for each indicator, using the dissimilarity index (D-Index). The Platform includes 16 basic opportunities and barriers for 28 countries in Asia and the Pacific. The data are drawn from the latest available Demographic and Health Surveys and Multiple indicator cluster surveys, while the indicators for the opportunities and barriers are mostly aligned with the SDG indicator framework. Read our methodological brief and see examples of analysis provided to countries.

    twig_convert_encoding('Amid continuing uncertainty over the trajectory of the COVID-19 pandemic and increased global risks, the region’s economic recovery and progress must be anchored in “a new social contract” of inclusiveness to protect the vulnerable from future shocks, according to the Economic and Social Survey of Asia and the Pacific for 2022, released today by the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP). 
    
    In addition to the pandemic, the report shows that regional economies face several downside risks related to supply constraints, rising inflationary pressures, prospects of increases in interest rates, shrinking fiscal space, and the emerging global economic fallout from the ongoing Russian-Ukrainian conflict. Economic growth in developing countries in Asia and the Pacific is projected to moderate to 4.5 per cent in 2022 and 5 per cent in 2023, compared with an estimated growth rate of 7.1 per cent in 2021. The cumulative output loss due to COVID-19 for the region’s developing economies between 2020 and 2022 is estimated to be nearly $2 trillion.
    
    With dwindling fiscal space in many developing countries in the region, the Survey cautions against cuts in fiscal expenditures on health care, education and social protection in order to protect the development gains of past decades and prevent further deepening of inequalities in the region.
    
    The pandemic has denied more than 820 million informal workers and over 70 million children in low-income households in the region adequate access to incomes and schooling. This outcome will have scarring effects on the future earning potential of these persons and overall productivity growth. An additional 85 million people in Asia and the Pacific had already been pushed back into extreme poverty in 2021.
    
    “As developing countries in the region move ahead with learning to live with COVID-19, balancing the protection of public health and livelihoods, it is time to lay the foundations for a fairer future of equal opportunities and inclusive outcomes,” said Armida Salsiah Alisjahbana, United Nations Under-Secretary-General and Executive Secretary of ESCAP.
    
    ESCAP recommends a three-pronged policy agenda aimed at shaping an inclusive economy in Asia and the Pacific. First, instead of reductions, developing countries in the region must tilt public spending towards basic universal health coverage, push further towards universal primary and secondary education, and expand social protection coverage. “Smart” fiscal policies can improve the overall efficiency and impact of public spending and revenue collection. Concurrently, new sources of revenue should be explored, such as taxing the digital economy, along with shifting the tax burden towards those better off.
    
    Second, the 2022 Survey argues that central banks in the region can and should tilt their traditional monetary policy conduct towards promoting inclusive development. While remaining focused on keeping inflation low and stable, central banks can invest part of official reserves in social bonds, explore how a central bank digital currency can enhance financial access, and encourage more innovative financial instruments for social purposes.
    
    Third, Governments can also proactively guide, shape and manage the structural economic transformation process, which is increasingly driven by the digital-robotics-AI revolution, for more inclusive outcomes. This includes supporting the development of labour-intensive technologies, inclusive access to good-quality education, reskilling, strengthening labour negotiation capacities and social protection floors.
    
    First produced in 1947, the Economic and Social Survey of Asia and the Pacific is the UN’s oldest and most comprehensive annual socioeconomic study informing policymaking in the region. This year’s Survey analysed the importance of effective government actions and the role of fiscal, monetary and structural policies in enhancing inclusiveness, keeping in view the considerable adverse impacts of COVID-19 on poverty and inequality.

    twig_convert_encoding('Next week, from 10 to 12 March, the Asia-Pacific region will review the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration adopted by UN Member States in 2018 – a framework and a call for action for international and regional coordination and cooperation on international migration.
    
    In the Asia-Pacific region, the number of international migrants has grown from 52 million in 1990 to over 65 million today, roughly 25 per cent of all the world’s international migrants. These migrants contribute to the sustainable development of their countries of origin and destination. Yet, they face complex human rights challenges that we must address to ensure that no one is left behind.
    
    Organized by the UN Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP) and the Regional UN Network on Migration for Asia and the Pacific, the review will highlight the situation of migrants in the region, and identify good practices to make migration safe, orderly and regular.
    
    Members of the media are invited to watch the proceedings online.
