Join the Conversation: World We Want 2015. A Public Forum on “The Privatization of the Post-2015 Development AgendaIssues and Challenges in Partnerships with the ‘Private Sector’” 8 April 2014, 1:15 – 2:45 PM 2nd Floor Conference Room, UN Church Center “Partnerships” for sustainable development are increasingly being promoted as a major, if not the primary, enabler for the implementation of the successor international sustainable development goals to replace the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) by 2015. However, a growing number of civil society groups warn against a partnerships approach that places primary emphasis on enticing private sector partiipation and investments as this risks reinforcing the corporate capture of the post-2015 agenda. This one-and-a-half hour Public Forum seeks to provide critical perspectives on the major issues and challenges associated with partnerships with the “private sector” for sustainable development.
