UN Jordan team begins second phase of post-2015 consultations

AMMAN — The UN country team in Jordan has kicked off the second round of post-2015 dialogues under the theme “Partnerships with civil society and other actors”, according to a UN statement released Wednesday.

“The consultations will enable civil society to contribute substantively to the shaping of key policies related to the implementation for the Post-2015 Development Agenda by sponsoring open dialogues with national key actors and stakeholders,” the statement said.

Jordan is one of 10 countries in the Arab region participating in the post-2015 national consultations.

Between October 2012 and May 2013, 40 events were completed and the final national consultations report “Messages for the Future We Want” was launched in October 2013.

In the second phase, dialogue will build on the main recommendations that emerged during the first phase of consultations.
