NOELEEN HEYZER: BIO: UN UNDER-SECRETARY-GENERAL AND EXECUTIVE SECRETARY OF ESCAP (MaximsNewsNetwork)

 

     UNITED NATIONS - / MaximsNews Network / 27 October 2009 - Dr. Noeleen Heyzer is the Executive Secretary of the UN Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific, ESCAP, and holds the rank of United Nations Under-Secretary-General.

Since taking office in August 2007 as the first woman to ever occupy this position, Dr. Heyzer has championed institutional change and developed ESCAP as a regional hub to help build stronger economic and social foundations for sustainable and inclusive societies in the Asia Pacific region.

Dr. Heyzer recently spoke in Cha-am Hua Hin, Thailand, at the Fourth East Asia Summit, that brings together the leaders of the 10 members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and Australia, China, India, Japan, Republic of Korea and New Zealand. 

“The economic crisis has exposed the limitations of a ‘manufactured in Asia–consumed in the West’ model for economic growth,” she told the Asian leaders at a meeting of ASEAN.

“There are enormous opportunities to promote intra-regional trade and investment in East Asia,” she said.

This was also the first time that any United Nations official has been invited to address the ASEAN group.

Dr. Heyzer has been cultivating regional co-operation and strong partnerships to mobilize support and harness new energies to address shared development concerns, striving for common prosperity, social progress, stability and ecological sustainability in a region challenged by high growth with growing inequalities and persistent poverty.

She has championed energy, food and water security as well as green growth in the Asia Pacific region. 

In response to the current economic crisis, Dr. Heyzer has worked with member States to develop more coordinated, integrated regional responses. 

She has championed building the foundations for social protection and has promoted increased intra-regional trade and investments in sustainable, inclusive infrastructure that create economic corridors linking Less Developed Countries to economic centres in the region.

Before her appointment to ESCAP, Dr. Heyzer was the first Executive Director from the South to head the United Nations Development Fund for Women (UNIFEM)

During her tenure she increased its resources tenfold, strengthened its ground presence and successfully advocated to put issues affecting women high on the agenda of the whole United Nations system. 

Among her many accomplishments there, she played a critical role in the Security Council’s adoption of the landmark resolution 1325 in which the Council for the first time recognized the impact of war on women, and women's contributions to conflict resolution and peace.

Dr. Heyzer received a Bachelor of Arts and a Master of Arts from the University of Singapore, and a doctorate in social sciences from Cambridge University in the United Kingdom.
