SHORT DESCRIPTION

Our E-Team developes upon topics highlighted at the United Nations Working Group of Experts on People of African Descent's 20th Session, held between 3-7 April 2017, at Palais des Nations. See UN Live United Nations Web TV - Consultation with Civil Society. This includes
1.) prioritization of Afrodescendants for inclusive achievement of SDGs
2.) developing simple operational guidelines for use by stakeholders on how to prioritize Afrodescendants as a particularly discriminated group at all stages of a holistic approach to implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, in accordance with ICERD 1965 and the DDPA 2001.

Documents and Discussions archived here explore dynamic multilevel multistakeholder collaboration, to achieve IDPAD's thematic objectives of recognition, justice, and development, incuding UN Resolutions passed in 2021 that establish new UN mechanisms to monitor and address police brutality and Afrophobia globally.
