The 13th United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD XIII) is scheduled between 21st and 26th April 2012 in Doha, Qatar.
Established in 1964, UNCTAD promotes the development-friendly integration of developing countries into the world economy. UNCTAD has progressively evolved into an authoritative knowledge-based institution whose work aims to help shape current policy debates and thinking on development, with a particular focus on ensuring that domestic policies and international action are mutually supportive in bringing about sustainable development.
The main theme for this conference is "Development-centred globalization: Towards inclusive and sustainable growth and development".
