Civil society came out in full force last week to tackle the post-2015 development framework at the 65th U.N. Department of Public Information for nongovernmental organizations in New York.
I was there as a U.N. Youth blogger, covering the meeting with seven other colleagues to report on the events, discussions and debates of civil society ahead of the 69th U.N. General Assembly later this month.
Given my role as a VSO U.K. volunteer working as an advocacy adviser for a disability civil society organization in Rwanda, I was particularly interested in the buzz around disability, inclusion, gender and volunteering.
