This report was prepared as part of the work of the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP) and the Agencia Presidencial de Cooperación Internacional de Colombia (APC-Colombia) to support Governments in Asia and the Pacific and Latin America to promote policy making for inclusive and sustainable economies.
