September 30, 2015November 4, 2015 SALO

With the adoption of the post-2015 development framework set for end of this month at the UN General Assembly in New York, focus has now shifted towards implementation. While the rallying theme during the consultation process to draft the agenda has been “Leave no one behind”, it is important to ensure that implementation is equally inclusive.

This dialogue provided an opportunity for relevant actors within South Africa and the region (including policy makers, development partners and civil society) to share ideas on how best to ensure inclusivity in the implementation of the agenda, especially for the usually marginalized groups.
