“Post 2015” Webinar Series

IDEA ran an online webinar series in Autumn 2013, particularly focusing on  issues relating to the post-2015 development framework process.

The High Level Panel Report on the post-2015 Development Agenda: What it’s all about, and is it anything new?

Speaker: Lysa John, Outreach Officer of the UN HLP secretariat 

Lysa gave us an overview of the new HLP report, A New Global Partnership: Eradicate Poverty and Transform Economies through Sustainable Development.  She focused on the ‘five big transformative shifts’ outlined in the report and explored the role of Civil Society in translating these changes into action.

To kick-start your thinking on this topic, please watch this two-minute video: http://www.post2015hlp.org/inourhands/
