Background
Civil Society Meeting
The civil society meeting convened by the UNCT, immediately after the SDG workshop, was instrumental in providing a space to share views and expectations regarding the 2030 Agenda. Participants agreed to meet again in the coming weeks, including with the UNDESA consultant currently reviewing modalities of stakeholder engagement for the implementation of the 2030 Agenda. Some of the CSO participants had been at the SDG meeting for both days, while several others joined the meeting at that time. This is a first facilitation by UNCT which will hopefully lead to other CSO work on SDGs. There were 21 participants in all, including 5 from the UNCT and one from OHCHR in addition to UNDESA.
