ESCAP Presentations & Investor Relations material

The United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP) is the regional development arm of the United Nations for the Asia-Pacific region. Composed of 62 member states, with a geographical scope that stretches from Turkey in the west to the Pacific island nation of Kiribati in the east, and from the Russian Federation in the north to New Zealand in the south, the region is home to 4.1 billion people, or two-thirds of the world's population. This makes ESCAP the most comprehensive of the United Nations five regional commissions, and the largest United Nations body serving the Asia-Pacific region with over 600 staff. Established in 1947 with its headquarters in Bangkok, Thailand, ESCAP works to overcome some of the region's greatest challenges by providing results-oriented technical projects, assistance and capacity building to member states. ESCAP promotes rigorous peer analysis and peer learning work in our areas; translates these findings into policy dialogues and development recommendations; and provides us with technical assistance to implement these recommendations.
