East, Southern Africa vow frontline role in setting the post-2015 development agenda

Abstract

A workshop by official development planners and private sector representatives from East and Southern Africa has urged regional governments to team up with the rest of Africa and take a frontline role in setting the post-2015 global development agenda. In a clear sign that the region intends to have its say in whatever goes into the post-2015 global development process, participants called on countries in the sub region to decide on specific timeline on all that needs to be done up until 2015 and beyond, so that no nation is left behind in the process.
