Civil society involvement in the implementation of the Post-2015 agenda (Information report)

EESC opinion: Civil society involvement in the implementation of the Post-2015 agenda (Information report)

Key points:

The report feeds into the debate on what is an effective framework to ensure civil society has an active role in the implementation of this new post-2015 agenda.  It is one of the key findings of the report that existing arrangements for participatory governance and stakeholder involvement at EU level need to be further developed in order to meet these challenges. The report recommends the Committee to organise a European forum for the implementation, monitoring and review of the post-2015 agenda in the EU. This forum would provide a regular, stable, structured framework for civil society dialogue and debate on the new sustainable development agenda at EU level. It will bring together policy actors from EU institutions with a broad range of civil society representatives.
