The platform for the Global Consultation on Health and the Post-2015 Development Agenda provides an open and inclusive consultation space to discuss the role of health in the post 2015 development agenda. It is hoped that the consultation will draw a representative cross section of views and start to build consensus in five key areas:  

 

• What are the lessons learnt from the health related MDGs? 
• What is the priority health agenda for the 15 years after 2015?  
• How does health fit in the post 2015 development agenda? 
• What are the best indicators and targets for health?  
• How can country ownership, commitment, capacity and accountability for the goals, targets and indicators be enhanced?  

 

The platform will run from October to March 2012.
