"We hope to bring views from all corners of the world together because what we are striving for is an agenda that will take us to a shared, secure and sustainable global development for all, our generation and all future ones".

More than 900 participants took part in a live Facebook chat on "Keeping the momentum beyond 2015: Moving forward towards a new global development agenda". Panelists from the UN System Task Team on the Post-2015 Development Agenda included DPAD Director Rob Vos with DPAD colleagues Diana Alarcon and Sabrina Axster, Fred Soltau from the Division for Sustainable Development and Jose Dallo and Gina Lucarelli from the UNDP Bureau of Development Policy. The live chat was jointly organized by DESA and UNDP to engage various stakeholders in the preparations for a global development agenda beyond 2015 that can build on the progress of the MDGs and meet the new challenges ahead.
