The adoption of the Open Working Group’s proposal for Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) during the 69th Session of the UN General Assembly in 2014 paved the way for the intergovernmental negotiations on the post 2015-development agenda. To facilitate the negotiations, it was agreed that the above proposal would provide the basis for the negotiations. The first two negotiation sessions took place in January and February 2015, both of which had important outcomes that will influence and further facilitate the negotiations process. Outcomes of the January 2015 negotiations session which was a stocktaking session include the fact that the SDGs proposal will remain the main basis for the negotiations. There will however be a process of refining or ‘technical proofing’ of the goals and target. The second negotiation session held in February 2015 focused on the declaration statement of the SDGs. The discussions were guided by an Elements Paper and “discussion document for the declaration” that were circulated by the Co-Facilitators. Governments made interventions on both documents with the focus on ensuring that the declaration will be comprehensive, concise, inspirational and visionary.
