Ashe, the President of the 68th Session of the United Nations General Assembly, will host an interactive meeting with civil society representatives for the 11-12 September High-level Stocktaking Event on the Post-2015 Development Agenda.
This interactive meeting will provide civil society, including NGOs, the media, the private sector and other relevant stakeholders with the opportunity to reflect upon the various post-2015 development-related processes which have occurred during the current session of the General Assembly, with a view to identifying possible inputs to the Synthesis Report of the Secretary-General; to the work of the 69th session of the General Assembly; and to the elaboration of the Post-2015 Development Agenda itself.
The meeting will include an introduction to the High-level Stocktaking Event followed by an interactive discussion.
You are cordially invited to attend and join in the discussion.
