Reminder: Global online consultation: High-level Panel of Eminent Persons on the post-2015 development agenda (19-26 October) ???

The High-level Panel of Eminent Persons on the post-2015 development agenda will hold its first substantive meeting in London from 31 October to 2 November 2012, and will focus on the issue of household poverty.

As part of the Panel’s efforts to reach out to civil society and other stakeholders, a global online consultation was being held from 19-26 October around the same framing questions the Panel will address, namely on:

1. Human development; and
2. Jobs and livelihoods.

Interested organizations and networks are invited to participate in the consultation here: www.worldwewant2015.org/Post2015HLP. Translations into French and Spanish will be available on Wednesday 24 October.

Substantive contributions will be compiled and synthesized by the UN Non-Governmental Liaison Service (UN-NGLS) and inform the Panel discussions in London.

This process is expected to be repeated for the subsequent Panel meetings, where more lead-time will be given for groups to be able to develop submissions - this we guess because the present event was not well publicized to the point we wonder if this was not a case that home office undermines change that was suggested by the outreach effort.

Subsequent High-level Panel meetings (dates to be confirmed) will be held in Monrovia (Liberia) and Bali (Indonesia) on the following topics:

• Monrovia: national development
• Bali: global partnerships
