Intergovernmental committee of experts on sustainable development financing regional outreach meeting: summary of proceedings

Abstract

Africa’s priorities for a global development agenda beyond 2015 are defined in the Common African Position on the Post-2015 Development Agenda (CAP), adopted by African Union Heads of States and Governments in January 2014. The Common African Position will allow Africa to speak with one voice and ensure that its priorities are taken up at the global level. One of its six pillars pertains to “Financing and Partnerships.” As such, it will also inform the deliberations of the ICESDF. To ensure this continuity, the outreach meeting brought together African members of the ICESDF, representatives of the High Level Committee on the Post-2015 Development Agenda, and representatives of governments, civil society and the private sector (see Appendix 1 for a full list of participants).
