Supporting LDCs´ Transformation: How can ODA Contribute to the Istanbul Programme of Action in the Post-2015 Era?, by José Antonio Alonso (CDP Background Paper No. 28)

A Post-2015 Monitoring and Accountability Framework, by José Antonio Ocampo (CDP Background Paper No. 27)

This paper proposes a bottom-up, multi-layered and multi-stakeholder framework for the accountability of the post-2015 agenda. It would be built upon national follow-up processes supported by the UN country teams, and complemented by consultations (and possibly peer reviews) at the regional level, and global accountability exercised by the High-Level Political Forum (HLPF), with support from the ECOSOC system, UN organizations and other relevant international organizations. It would also be accompanied by parallel accountability mechanisms for civil society and the private sector as key partners in the achievement of the post-2015 development agenda.
