Stakeholders to meet on Post-2015 development agenda and the common African position

Abstract

African stakeholders, including academia, CSOs, government representatives, media, private sector and women and youth groups will meet later this week in Addis Ababa to deliberate and propose a concrete accountability framework for the Post-2015 Development Agenda. Stakeholders are determined to play a strong role in the Post-2015 Development Agenda given the limited role of Africa in the formulation of the MDGs, which many assert resulted in weak ownership and slow progress by many African countries.
