Inter-agency Coordination in the area of sustainable development is undertaken through the Inter-Agency Committee on Sustainable Development(IACSD). The role of IACSD is to identify major policy issues relating to the follow-up to UNCED by the United Nations system and to advise the ACC on ways and means of addressing them so as to ensure effective system-wide cooperation and coordination in the implementation of Small Island Developing States(SIDS) and other UNCED outcomes and their follow-up. IACSD was established in October 1993 by the Administrative Committee on Coordination(ACC)-the highest inter-agency body of the United Nations, chaired by the Secretary-General, and consisting of the heads of organizations of the United Nations System. 2, record 2, English, - Inter%2DAgency%20Committee%20on%20Sustainable%20Development
