Dear Colleague,
Apologies for any cross-postings.
AFTER 2015: PROMOTING PRO-POOR POLICY AFTER THE MDGS DFID/DSA/EADI/ ACTIONAID HIGH LEVEL POLICY FORUM
We would like to invite you to a DFID-funded high-level policy forum on the theme of ‘After 2015’.
The MDGs have played a major role in focusing development policy since their original incarnation in the 1990s. Some development agencies, notably DFID, have gone as far as to judge their activities on the contribution to achieving the MDGs. What happens when we no longer have the MDGs? How will we promote pro-poor policy after 2015?
The event seeks to address three questions:
a. What has been the impact on poverty reduction of the MDG paradigm?
b. What are the major global processes shaping development up to 2015 and beyond (i.e. the global market volatility and crisis, climate change, demographic change, technology, new policy actors and institutions, etc.) and what will be the impacts of such processes on poverty reduction up to and beyond the MDGs?
c. How can we promote pro-poor policy after the MDGs and amid global changes, some of which mediate in favour of the poor, many not?
We are holding the event in Brussels to make it more accessible to an EC policy maker audience and policy makers from developing countries via the ACP Secretariat, as well as those from UN agencies in Geneva and the OECD in Paris. This meeting represents an ideal opportunity for a combined UK and European participation in what is now a pressing topic for the future of poverty reduction.
The draft programme can be found at http://www.devstud.org.uk/events/policyforum/after_2015_promoting_pro_poor_policy_after_the_mdgs/draft_programme-1-3.html and we have speakers from a wide range of international institutions including the DFID, The African Development Bank, MDG Campaign, UNDP, African Economic Research Council among others.
Places are very limited, so registration is essential. Please register your interest in attending by sending an email to admin@devstud.org.uk giving your full name, email address, organisational affiliation and position. We will then email you to confirm your attendance.
These are the practical details:
When? 9am, Tuesday 23 June 2009
Where? Residence Palace, Brussels.
Who? The audience invited comprises Ambassadors and Embassy staff, staff of the European Commission, the ACP, Civil Society Organisations, the United Nations agencies, bilateral donors, the OECD and academic researchers.
We look forward to your response.
With best wishes,
Professor Lawrence Haddad, President, Development Studies Association (DSA)
Professor Jean-Luc Maurer, President, European Association of Development Research and Training Institutes (EADI)
