We are proud to present to you a new website for the Department of Economic and Social Affairs (DESA): /en/desa
Built and designed in collaboration with the Department of Global Communications (DGC), the new Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ DESA website will serve as the public face of the reinvigorated and reformed department.
Much more than a mere face-lift, the new Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ DESA website will feature a series of technological enhancements:
- It uses the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ 2 platform, which is built on Drupal, the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ web content management standard.
- Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ 2, developed by DGC, automatically conforms to Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ Website Guidelines.
- It has built-in support for mobile devices and multilingualism.
- It is more scalable to handle heavy web traffic.
- It is built following the template of the current main Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ website, which significantly shortens the development cycle and saves the cost of website design and development.
The new website presents Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ DESA¡¯s work in three main pillars:
- Intergovernmental Support
- Analysis
- Capacity Building at the Departmental Level
The latest Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ DESA Highlights Report 2019-2020 informed the content of the website¡¯s static sections.
The new website will serve as a hub for Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ DESA products such as Publications, Databases, Policy Briefs, Working Papers, Webinars, Statements, Videos, Infographics, and the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ DESA Voice newsletter. It will also feature the latest news and information on upcoming events from around the department.
With over half a million visits each quarter, the main Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ DESA website is the first impression most stakeholders get of our department. Today, we are proud to show them the face of a new Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ?DESA, fit for the 21st century.
You are welcome to visit and explore the new Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ DESA website, available in English (at the moment), with other Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ official languages coming soon. Stay tuned!
