Abstract: This paper presents the report of the High-level Policy Dialogue on Development Challenges Facing the Subregion (New Delhi, 15-16 December 2011), which was organized to coincide with the opening of the United Nations ESCAP Subregional Office for South and South-West Asia (SSWA) based in New Delhi. The report outlines the key recommendations which emerged from the Policy Dialogue, which was attended by nearly 200 participants from 17 member States of ESCAP, representing senior officials, representatives of United Nations bodies and specialized agencies, intergovernmental organizations and civil society. The report then summarizes the salient points of the discussions, which focused on a range of topics related to key development challenges facing South and South-West Asia. This report provides a basis for the future work programme of the newly established ESCAP-SSWA Office.
