Expert Group Meeting on Population Dynamics and the Post-2015 Development Agenda

Among the meetings taking place in Bali in the run up to the High-Level Panel (HLP), an Expert Group Meeting on Population Dynamics and the Post-2015 Development Agenda was organized by UNFPA, in collaboration with the Government of Indonesia (BKKBN and UKP4) to develop concrete recommendations on “how to” address and harness population dynamics in relation to development objectives in the Post-2015 development agenda in general, and on priorities of the Asia-Pacific region in particular. Participants in the meeting included international and Indonesian experts from universities, research institutes and think tanks, relevant Indonesian Government institutions and selected Youth Organizations and CSOs that have strong backgrounds in population dynamics.

Based on the Outcome document of the Thematic Consultation on Population Dynamics and the Dhaka Declaration, the Expert Group adopted the Bali Statement as input into the HLP meeting process.
