BASSETERRE, St. Kitts – Senior diplomat Her Excellency Asha DeSouza has been selected to serve on the Multi-Stakeholder Advisory Group to the President of the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) for the 2025 Partnership Forum.

DeSouza, who continues to make significant strides on the international stage, shared her enthusiasm for the appointment in a social media post:

“Honoured to serve in the Multi-Stakeholder Advisory Group to the President of the ECOSOC for the 2025 Partnership Forum.

The 2025 Partnership Forum of the ECOSOC will place a special emphasis on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that will be reviewed at the 2025 high-level political forum on sustainable development (HLPF), namely Goal 3 (Good Health and Well-being); Goal 5 (Gender Equality); Goal 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth); Goal 14 (Life Below Water); and Goal 17 (Partnerships for the Goals).

As an outcome of the Advisory Group, the President of ECOSOC included a panel on ‘Investing in Partnerships: Catalyzing Action for SDG 17.’

It is clear now, more than ever, that we need innovative partnerships that aim to mobilize commitments and investments to advance the #PactfortheFuture and the #2030Agenda.”

The selection of DeSouza further solidifies St. Kitts and Nevis’ presence in high-level global discussions on sustainable development and international partnerships. Her role will focus on advising ECOSOC leadership on strategies to foster collaboration and mobilize resources to achieve critical global goals.
