Abstract
"This report presents the Institute’s work from January through December 2006, including its conference, research, advisory, publication and dissemination activities. It is supplemented by an administrative and financial report. 2 During the current reporting period, research at UNRISD was organized under six programme areas: Social Policy and Development; Democracy, Governance and Well-Being; Markets, Business and Regulation; Civil Society and Social Movements; Identities, Conflict and Cohesion; and Gender and Development. 3 Work in these areas was supplemented by special events and activities organized by the Institute. The largest such event of the reporting period was a two-day workshop on Social Policy and Equality at the International Forum on the Social Science–Policy Nexus in Buenos Aires, Argentina, which provided an opportunity for a rich exchange between researchers and policy makers. UNRISD also organized one of the roundtables on the opening day of the Forum, on Social Development Policies: New Challenges for the Social Sciences, during which the Director of UNRISD delivered the keynote speech, and was represented on the Forum’s International Steering Committee. Two smaller activities also took place during the reporting period: a lecture in memory of the life and work of Hans Singer, in collaboration with the International Institute for Labour Studies of the International Labour Organization (ILO), and a lunchtime workshop, The New Equity Agenda, in collaboration with the Department of Equity, Poverty and the Social Determinants of Health of the World Health Organization (WHO)."(pg 1)
