Moving the needle on racism inside UNDP

UNDP

2021

In 2001, the Government of South Africa hosted the World Conference against Racism, Racial Discrimination, Xenophobia and Related Intolerance, where countries adopted the Durban Declaration and Plan of Action. Then UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan said the purpose of the conference was to “banish from this new century the hatred and prejudice that have disfigured previous centuries”. Although this historic Declaration set forth a programme of practical and workable actions to fight racism and advocate for racial justice, there is still so much more to do.
