Influencing the Post-2015 Framework

In 2015 the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), which have guided global development since 2000, will expire. InterAction and its members are dedicated to sustaining the momentum of the MDGs and collaborating across civil society to ensure the advancement of a new “Post-2015” framework.

InterAction endorses the U.N. Secretary General’s High-Level Panel report A New Partnership: Eradicate Poverty and Transform Economies Through Sustainable Development. The report is, as was mandated by the Secretary General, “bold and practical.” It provides a starting point for the next two years of intergovernmental negotiations and civil society advocacy, outlining 12 illustrative goals and targets.

Post-2015 Recommendations
Read the InterAction Post-2015 Task Force policy brief, "Overarching Principles for a Post-2015 Framework."
The InterAction Post-2015 Task Force will build upon the High Level Panel report to advocate for a development framework that is effective in creating a more just, prosperous, peaceful world and focuses on eradicating extreme poverty. InterAction members are encouraged to join the task force. For more information, please contact Suzanne Kindervatter.

Developing the Post-2015 agenda is complex. Please read on for information on our members’ activities and the processes involved.

MY World
MY World is a United Nations global survey for citizens. It aims to capture people’s voices, priorities and views, so world leaders can be informed as they begin the process of defining the next set of global goals to end poverty.

High-Level Panel
Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon's High-level Panel was formed to advise on the global development framework beyond 2015. The Panel is co-chaired by President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono of Indonesia, President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf of Liberia, and Prime Minister David Cameron of the United Kingdom, and it includes leaders from civil society, private sector and government. The Panel submitted its report containing recommendations to the Secretary-General in May 2013. It includes 12 illustrative goals and targets.

World We Want 2015
The World We Want is gathering the priorities of people from every corner of the world and will help build a collective vision that will be used directly by the United Nations and World Leaders to plan a new development agenda launching in 2015.

Civil Society-Led Processes

Beyond 2015

It is compiling feedback through a questionnaire as well as research, reports and other key documents. It also has information on the African Civil Society Secretariat.

Participate
Participate is co-convened by the Institute of Development Studies and Beyond 2015, and funded by the UK government. The initiative is providing high-quality evidence on the reality of poverty at ground level, bringing the perspectives of the poorest into the post-2015 debate.
