- What is IIED doing to address the #post-2015 agenda? Our vision and our work can be seen here --> http://www.iied.org/sustainable-development-goals-new-negotiation-under-way … #ldcpriorities
- Because we live in an integrated world, #LDCpriorities are also in the best interests of the world/the international community #post2015
- If it’s taken 15 yrs to achieve 8 MDGS, is it possible to achieve 12 SDGs? Setting achievable goals is essential #ldcpriorities #post2015
- LDCs have talent + natural resources so they need mutual accountability framework at national + international level #LDCpriorities
- Hope expressed that, as numbers of LDCs diminishes, this same conf in 15 years will only need a telephone box #post2015 #ldcpriorities
- Importance of local institutions must be noted .whatever is agreed at international level has to make sense on the ground #LDCpriorities
- Quick bit of housekeeping: all discussion at this #ldcpriorities and #post2015 conference is ‘off the record’ to encourage frank debate...
- Where permission is specifically granted, we will of course identify those speaking and their particular views #ldcpriorities #post2015
- Passionate discussion on how LDCs can achieve objectives in face of lack of technology and productive capacity #ldcpriorities #post2015
- Our topic now is a new framework for poverty eradication & sustainable development #ldcpriorities #post2015
- What challenges will the world face over the next 20 yrs and what does this mean for #LDSpriorities? #post2015
- In LDCs eyes, 3 elements are partic. important – productive capacity building, gainful employment & climate change #ldcpriorities #post2015
@IIED Exactly! But recent policies are the exact opposite: land grabbing and real estate speculation! #UrbanReform #AgrarianReform- Framework for post-conflict countries must factor in how women will gain employment and address women's needs #ldcpriorities #post2015
- Most likely there wont be women centered specific goal bt we have to be smarter and ensure all other indicators factor gender #LDCpriorities
- That's it for today from #post2015 #ldcpriorities conference @WiltonPark. But there will be a daily round-up later/first thing tomorrow
