Welcome to the United Nations
The promotion of social equity is one of the strategies for leaving no one behind, and can be understood as fairness, justice and greater equality for all in society. Achieving equity relies on an active commitment to these aims through the country’s formal and informal institutions, or articulated in a country’s constitution, and applied to the formulation and implementation of public policy, finance and budgeting, and in the administration of programmes executed or funded by the State.
