The Social Transformation Programmes Division (STPD) comprises the Education, Gender and Health Sections.

The Secretariat is committed to supporting the globally agreed Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). Through STPD’s activities, the Secretariat aissts member countries meet the goals that promote human development as the key to sustaining social and economic progress and achieving peace and democracy.
