40 Things (You Just Might Not Know) About PIDS (31/40):PIDS and GDN
PIDS, in partnership with the Global Development Network (GDN), Asian Development Bank (ADB), and the East Asian Development Network, hosted the 14th Annual Global Development Conference held on June 19-21, 2013, at the ADB headquarters in Manila. This was the first time the annual conference was held in Southeast Asia. The keynote speech was delivered by Former Philippine President Benigno Simeon C. Aquino III. The theme of the conference was “Inequality, Social Protection, and Inclusive Growth”. For three days, experts discussed and debated why, despite the global growth phenomenon, inclusive growth is still elusive with hundreds of millions of people living in extreme poverty. They also discussed how social protection policies could help ease income inequality. Over 500 participants from nearly 60 countries attended the conference.
GDN is an international organization that builds research capacity in developing countries. Founded in 1999, it is headquartered in New Delhi, with offices in Cairo and Washington, D.C.
