Historique

At the turn of the millennium the United Nations launched a global development framework known as the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). Eight in total, with accompanying indicators and targets, the MDGs provided a roadmap to halve poverty worldwide by 2015. As we near the 2015 deadline, the UN, in partnership with civil society and the private sector is undergoing a process to reflect on the MDGs as well as develop a new global framework post-2015.

As part of the post-2015 process, the UN will convene a panel of world leaders and experts known as the High Level Panel, facilitate 9 global thematic consultations and over 50 country consultations, and lead a Global Conversation which will be an effort to allow citizens and other stakeholders to participate and contribute ideas and on the MDGs and the post-2015 process, which will then feed into the planning of the new framework.

A key aspect of the global conversation is a virtual platform that will allow citizens to offer many forms of feedback on a new development agenda, and contribute their opinions, wants and desires for a post-2015 development framework. Accompanying this will be a large crowdsourcing component that aims to harness the post 2015 conversations not taking place directly on the virtual platform (through social media and other online spaces), a strategy to feed offline conversations taking place at various events into the online platform, and a sophisticated data analysis and synthesis model to make sense of the overall conversation.
