The General Assembly of the United Nations in 1993 declared 17 October as the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty. My Department does not promote any activities for this day. However, the Combat Poverty Agency is funding four community and voluntary groups to undertake activities to raise awareness of the World Day of Poverty, which is to be celebrated on 14 October this year.
