This Conference, organized by United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), will be a one-day large-scale international event to discuss issues of poverty from the global, regional and Ukrainian perspectives.

By bringing together prominent international experts, representatives of Ukrainian and other countries’ Governments, private sector, think-tanks and NGOs the conference will create a platform for discussion and exchange of experience on poverty reduction and social inclusion, and pay particular attention to current poverty patterns in Ukraine.

It will also deliberate on best practices and instruments that were successfully applied in other transition economies. Finally, the conference will promote business practices and strategic public-private partnerships that help reduce poverty.
