History
The Programme and Budget for 1984-1985 announced the creation of the Division of Economic and Social Sciences (SHS/SES). The new division inherited many of the responsibilities of the former Division of International Development of Social Sciences. For its first two years, it also existed concurrently with the Division for Socio-Economic Analysis (SHS/SEA). While SHS/SES was responsible for training, support and cooperation at the international, regional, sub-regional, and national level, as well as for participating in several interdisciplinary activities, SHS/SEA was to reinforce member states’ capacity for the planning and evaluation of development. The Division for Socio-Economic Analysis was dissolved in 1985 and some of its activities were transferred to the new Bureau of Studies, Action and Coordination for Development (DEV).
The following biennium responsibility for the interdisciplinary activity of analysis of the international dimensions of development was transferred to SHS/SES. This responsibility was later shifted to the new Division of Development Studies (SHS/SDV) when it was created in 1989, after the dissolution of DEV. In 1990, SHS/SES itself was dissolved as part of a larger reorganization of the Secretariat. At this time, the Unit for the Institutional Development of the Social and Human Sciences (SHS/IST) was created within the Office of the Assistant Director-General. SHS/IST inherited some of SHS/SES’s activities.
The Division was led by Ruben Santos Cuyugan, 1985-1987, and by Abdellatif Benachenhou, 1987-1990.
