Dear
Friends and Colleagues,
Please
find below the announcement from DESA on what will happen during the Phase 2 of
the Open-ended Working Group on Sustainable Development Goals (OWG-SDG) and
Sustainable Financing. As you may know the OWG-SDG 8th Session just
finished. The Stocktaking Phase where they had views from governments and from
Major groups on the various sustainable development issues is over. They will
now move to the informals, which are meant to be intergovernmental negotiating
processes where they will reach agreement on what will be the SDGs. These
meetings will take place on the following dates;
March
3-7, 2014
March
31-April 4, 2014
May
5-9, 2014

The
co-chairs of the OWG-SDG are Mr. Macharia Kamau, Permanent
Representative of Kenya and Mr. Csaba Kōrōsi, Permanent Representative of
Hungary. For more information on the reports of the various working groups
please go to the website;
After
July the Post-2015 Development Agenda Process will start in September 2014 at
the beginning of the 69th Session of the UN General Assembly. There will be a
special event to review the MDGs during this event. After this High Level
Event, the negotiations processes will take place on what the Post-2015
Development Agenda will be. The results of the OWG-SDG will feed into this
process.
The
other regional processes are the following: I cut this from the message of
Chantal Line Carpienter who is the DESA focal point for Major Groups.

The
Organizing Partners for the Indigenous Peoples' Major Group are Tebtebba and
IIN (Indigenous Information Network from Kenya, for the South and International
Indian Treaty Council (IITC) for the North. There is very minimal participation
of indigenous peoples in these processes because there is very little support
for this and the DESA only supports one or two persons from the South. For
Tebtebba, we have Galina Angarova who is based in New York to engage on a more
full-time basis with this process, among others and for IITC they have Roberto
Mukaro Borrero., also based in NY. For IIN this is Lucy Mulenkei whose email is
mulenkei@yahoo.com.
If
you want more information please email them. Galina's email is galina@tebtebba.org
and Roberto's is roberto@treatycouncil.org.

regards,
