Ministers, parliamentarians, policy-makers, members of the Secretary-General's High Level Panel on the Post-2015 Agenda, as well as representatives from civil society, youth organizations and the private sector, will attend the third and final regional consultation to define Africa's position on post-2015 development priorities, on March 11-12, 2013 in Hammamet, Tunisia.

The first sub-regional consultative meeting on the Post-2015 development agenda was held in Mombasa, Kenya (October 1-2, 2012) and the second in Dakar, Senegal (December 10-11, 2012).

The meeting is hosted by the African Development Bank (AfDB), with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), the Africa Union Commission (AUC) and the Economic Commission for Africa (ECA) as co-organizers.

Consultations will include panel discussions and several breakout sessions on key development issues such as inclusive and sustainable growth, human development, education and technological innovation.

An African position on the Post 2015 development agenda will be endorsed by African Ministers and ratified by Heads of State at the African Union Summit in May 2013.
