Background
The objective of the meeting will be to take stock of where we are in terms of progress towards SDG 10; to share knowledge about success stories, good practices and challenges; to identify particular areas of concern; and to suggest ways forward in terms of policies, partnerships and coordinated actions at all levels.
The discussions will primarily focus on within country inequalities which are increasing in most countries1, with sessions that take stock of inequality among countries. These messages will help inform the HLPF, assist in planning its sessions, and serve to influence collaborations and programmes of work on inequality going forward from 2019. Apart from the July meeting, the EGM will also inform the quadrennial review to be conducted in September 2019 at the level of Heads of State/Governments in New York.
