From Declaration to Delivery: actioning the post-2015 agenda

by | Jul 7, 2015


This report, prepared for Save the Children, is based on the outcomes of a series of dialogues with 8 countries that have already begun exploring how to implement the post-2015 agenda. The roundtables were held in Denmark, Ghana, Mexico – with the participation of Colombia, Guatemala and Peru – Pakistan and Tanzania.

Each roundtable took the proposed Sustainable Development Goals and associated targets as their starting point, looking at examples from UN member states who have already started work on implementation.

This report identifies themes or ‘reality checks’ drawn from the roundtables to illustrate the opportunities and challenges of delivering a sustainable development agenda (June 2015)
