Liberia: HLP Monrovia Meeting Calls for Framing a Single and Cohesive Post-2015 Development Agenda

Monrovia — The 27-member High-Level Panel of Eminent Persons on the Post-2015 Development Agenda have agreed that every effort should be made to achieve the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) by 2015, while at the same time framing a single and cohesive post-2015 development agenda that integrates economic growth, social inclusion and environmental protection.

Rather, the global community must pursue economic and social transformation leading to sustained and inclusive economic growth at the local, national and global levels, emphasizing that the protection and empowerment of people is crucial.
