DCF Uganda High-level Symposium - Development cooperation for a new era: Making the renewed global partnership for sustainable development a reality

A new global agenda for sustainable development, the 2030 Agenda, and a financing framework have been agreed and adopted this year. 

Development cooperation will be a main pillar of the global partnership for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). 

The DCF Uganda High-level Symposium will provide a first opportunity for the range of actors to discuss development cooperation for the 2030 Agenda: ways to motivate, support and further shape development cooperation as a critical ‘means of implementation’. 

The Symposium will focus on two overarching questions: How will we adapt development cooperation policies and interventions for implementing the SDGs? And how will we monitor and review the impact of development cooperation in advancing the new sustainable development agenda? 

Particular attention will be placed on what this means in terms of challenges and opportunities for development cooperation in Africa. 

The Symposium will produce concrete policy guidance on development cooperation to support the 2030 Agenda and financing for sustainable development. The deliberations will feed preparations for the 2016 high-level meeting of the Development Cooperation Forum and other functions of the United Nations Economic and Social Council, which has a major role in the follow-up of the 2030 Agenda at global level.

The Symposium will be held in Kampala, Uganda on 5-6 November 2015, with pre-meetings on 4 November. 

The event is co-organized by the Government of Uganda and the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs.
