VIENNA HIGH-LEVEL SYMPOSIUM
The first High-level Symposium to prepare for the 2010 DCF will be organized by UN/DESA jointly with the Government of Austria in Vienna on 12-13 November 2009. As a true multi-stakeholder event, the Vienna Symposium on “Accountable and Transparent Development Cooperation: Towards a More Inclusive Framework” will bring together Southern and Northern policy-makers to identify key challenges in making mutual accountability mechanisms more effective at the global and at the country level and to discuss possible common standards in mutual accountability and aid transparency.
The Vienna HLS will also include interactive discussions on how to improve information and analysis of South-South development cooperation flows, including how such cooperation can promote other types of financing for development from the perspective of developing countries.
