    The future of international development cooperation isn’t just hashed out in dusty field offices and ramshackle schools and hospitals, but also at a variety of events, celebrations and other gatherings. Below are some of the most noteworthy for the week starting March 25:

    Fourth meeting of the High-level Panel of Eminent Persons on the Post-2015 Development Agenda Bali, IndonesiaMarch 25-27

    Partnership and cooperation will be in the spotlight at this week’s session, where panel members will discuss strategies for the implementation of the post-2015 framework and meet with various stakeholders to reach global consensus on shaping the new development agenda.

    5th BRICS Summit Durban, South Africa March 26-27

    Representatives from the world’s leading emerging economies — Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa — will come together to discuss opportunities for political and entrepreneurial coordination, and other areas of cooperation.

    World Social Forum Tunis, TunisiaMarch 26-30

    This annual event brings together nongovernmental organizations, advocacy groups, as well as formal and informal social movements seeking international solidarity.
