Post-2015: Elements paper on the Declaration available / Draft Programme of Work for the Feburary 17-20 session

Received from DESA-DSD and UN-NGLS:

Dear Colleagues,

We would like to draw your attention to the letter from the co-facilitators transmitting the programme of work for the 17-20 February intergovernmental negotiations on the post-2015 development agenda, as well as a draft elements paper to stimulate the discussion on the declaration component of the post-2015 development agenda.

DESA DSD and NGLS have created a google doc where major groups and other stakeholders can provide their comments and views on the draft elements paper for the declaration. The submissions will be summarized by the February Stakeholder Steering Committee for presentation at the February negotiating session.

According to the programme of work that has been released, there will be an interactive dialogue with major groups and other stakeholders on Thursday, 19 February, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. The speakers for this interactive dialogue will be selected by the February Stakeholder Steering Committee following the open call for nominations (now closed). Speakers will be notified as soon as the selection has been completed. A draft agenda for the interactive dialogue will be made available towards the end of the week.

Also, we would like to inform you that room 2726 (located on the 27th floor of the Secretariat building) has been reserved for daily caucus meetings of major groups and other stakeholders. The room is available next week on Tuesday-Thursday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Friday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Kind regards, 

DESA-DSD and UN-NGLS
