SIDE EVENT ON THE NEXT STEPS FOR THE INDICATORS FRAMEWORK FOR
THE POST-2015 DEVELOPMENT AGENDA AND INPUTS FROM CIVIL SOCIETY
AND OTHER STAKEHOLDERS

Monday, 20 April 2015 1:15PM to 2:30PM at Conference Room 6

Brief description

This side event will be an interactive dialogue between the United Nations Statistics Division and representatives of civil society and other stakeholders on the next steps for the preparation of the Indicators Framework for the post-2015 development agenda.

In advance of the first meeting of the Inter-Agency and Expert Group meeting on Sustainable Development Goal Indicators (IAEG-SDGs), this event aims to provide a live forum on inputs from civil society to the discussion on the preparation of SDG indicators and possible next steps.

It is understood that the work plan of the IAEG-SDGs will only be launched once the group meets for the first time, on 1-2 June 2015. Therefore the discussion on next steps is based on what is expected at the moment and may undergo changes. However, written inputs to the group are already being collected online, in order to be compiled and submitted for the consideration of the IAEG-SDGs.
