On 23 July 2012 at the General Segment of the Substantive Meeting of the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC), a dedicated panel discussion was organized to introduce the reflections of the Committee of Development Policy (CDP) on the general contours of the international development agenda for post 2015 in light of the CDP’s review of the lessons learned from the Millennium Development Goal (MDGs) initiative.

The panel also addressed the Committee’s main recommendations on the transformative changes in the international economic environment required to address emerging challenges, to enable the implementation of the UN agenda beyond 2015 at the country level, and to strengthen the international development cooperation.
