As the world prepares for the adoption of a new global development framework to stamp out extreme poverty by 2030, leaders and policymakers are in a final sprint to address the toughest — yet most fundamental — aspect of it all: How to implement it.
Last week, some 200 stakeholders met in Incheon, South Korea, to discuss fundamental requirements for the successful implementation of a post-2015 development agenda. Organized under the auspices of the U.N. Development Cooperation Forum, the high-level symposium’s recommendations will feed into major processes leading up to the final sustainable development goals — including the International Conference on Financing for Development, to be held July 13-16 in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
After two days of intense discussions and workshops, Devex caught up with some the symposium’s participants to get the inside track on where negotiations around the post-2015 agenda currently stand.
