This global meeting is focused on data and accountability in the new development framework, building on the outcomes of the first phase of the UN Development Group's (UNDG) consultations on post-2015 development priorities. The event will aim to foster a common understanding of the concept of a “data revolution” and the potential roles of various stakeholders, and contribute to building a global partnership for development data and accountability for the post-2015 development agenda. The UN Development Programme (UNDP) will convene the event in conjunction with the eighth session of the UN General Assembly's (UNGA) Open Working Group (OWG) on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). According to UNDP, the event will feed into the intergovernmental and broader discussions on sustainable development goals and post-2015, and lead to a common road map for coherent follow-up actions and advocacy to integrate data and accountability in the post-2015 development agenda.
