On 15 April in Geneva, SD2015 partners held a regional consultation on the High Level Political Forum. The purpose of the event was to provide an opportunity for stakeholders to voice their recommendations on the mandate and means of engagement with the governance body.
This side event is a part of a broader and inclusive consultation, to promote further awareness of the HLPF and to collect the views of civil society and other non-government actors on what measures, architecture and engagement mechanisms would enable an ambitious, effective and inclusive HLPF in 2015 and beyond.
To prepare for the proceedings around the High Level Political Forum, please see below for some of the upcoming meetings and consultations which will help define the mandate and means of stakeholder participation for the post-2015 governance body.
