CSOs express initial concerns about Co-facilitators’ draft resolution

Ahead of the intergovernmental negotiations a number of civil society organizations, networks and other groups have expressed their initial and preliminary concerns on some of the issues included in the Co-facilitators draft resolution. (See: Co-facilitators’ draft resolution of 6 May 2016)

The issues include those related to gender equality and women’s empowerment, the contribution of young people and the role of civil society, particularly the poorest and those most at risk of marginalization, for the full implementation of the 2030 Agenda, its follow-up and review. (See: Co-facilitators’ draft resolution of May 6th). Other issues including the proposed themes and sets of goals require further consideration.

The negotiations on the draft begin today, Thursday 12 May at 3 pm.
