The Co-facilitators have released the final draft of the outcome document for the UN Summit in September 2015 which will adopt the Post-2015 Development Agenda. It builds on the feedback from Member States and other stakeholders during our 22 to 25 June negotiation session and contains three annexes. 

Nineteen of the proposed technical revisions to the targets (contained in Annex 1 of the Zero Draft), have been incorporated in the final text, by amending the relevant targets in the listing provided in the attached draft. They have made a slight change to the proposed revision previously circulated, in relation to target 8.7 and the proposed revision to target 14.c remains in Annex 1 for further consideration by member states.

The language in the final draft, relating to the Third International Conference on Financing for Development is based on the draft Addis Ababa Action Agenda as of 07/07/2015. Further changes may be required after the conference and it is also proposed that the agreed outcome document of that conference be included as Annex 2.
