The document discusses the United Nations Development Group's initiative to facilitate a global conversation on developing goals for a new global development framework to succeed the Millennium Development Goals beyond 2015. Through online and public discussions, nearly 2 million people have provided input on priorities. The initiative aims to ensure discussions are inclusive and reach marginalized communities. A new phase will focus on how the framework can be best implemented through discussions on themes like localizing goals, building capacities, participatory monitoring, partnerships with government and private sectors, and linking culture to development. National dialogues on implementation will take place in over 50 countries through 2015.

They also emphasize the need to tackle inequality within and among countries, to protect the envi-ronment and to strengthen governance and accountability to measure progress on development targets.
- 2. Why Dialogues on Implementation? During the consultations so far, participants were keen not just to express their views on the content of the agenda, but they were also interested in how it will be implemented, including the roles and responsibilities of different stakeholders. People have raised issues that are important for implementation, related to ownership, localization, participation, capacities, partnerships, monitoring and accountability systems. The dialogues on imple-mentation are designed to give people a space to express their opinions on those issues. As it is increasingly clear that the what and the how are connected, these dialogues will give particular attention to issues necessary for implementa-tion but which have not been fully explored in inter-governmental negotiations yet. The dialogues will build on the first phase of consultations and continue to keep open the communication channel from people in countries across the world to the inter-governmental process underway to define Sustainable Development Goals. It is also hoped that the dialogues will kick-start partnerships and implementation mechanisms to form the foun-dation of the new development agenda, so that come September 2015 people the world over are mobilized to begin implementation. Focus on 6 themes The dialogues, which will run from April 2014 to April 2015, will be a series of public meetings and on-line discussions where policy plan-ners, civil society representatives, academics, community and private sector leaders can discuss how to best deliver the next sustainable development agenda that will build on the success of the MDGs. Dialogues on Implementation will explore the following six themes: 1Localizing the Post-2015 Agenda: To encourage grassroots support and community buy-in, this consultation will create opportunities to discuss the local dimensions of the future global development framework. This dialogue will also explore the increasingly important role of cities in advancing progress on national and global agendas. 2 Helping to Strengthen Capacities and Build Effective Institutions: This consultation will build on the MDGs to explore the necessary institu-tions, leadership and capacities required to manage the com-plexity of inter-dependent social, economic and environmental issues as part of sustainable and inclusive development. 3 Participatory Monitoring for Accountability: This dialogue will look at how participation and empowerment can improve accountability in the post-2015 agenda. It will showcase how more accountable, transparent, responsive governance is being pursued at country and local levels using participatory research, participatory monitoring and citizen generated real-time monitoring activities. 4 Partnerships with Civil Society: This dialogue will support civil society to contrib-ute to discussions related to the means of implementation for the post-2015 development agenda. The goal will be to advance partnerships with civil society that result in positive gains for society, are respectful of human rights and sustainability, and ensure and enhance transparency and accountability. 5 Engaging with the Private Sector: This consultation will explore the following themes: enhancing partnerships, developing government policies that drive corporate sustainability, mobilizing private sustainability finance, engagement with small and medium-sized enterprises, and enhancing transparency and accountability. 6 Culture and Development: This consultation will allow diverse stakeholders to explore how culture can contribute to development in areas such as poverty reduction, gender equal-ity, social inclusion, education, health,urbanization, popula-tion dynamics, climate change and reconciliation.
