“This is the people’s agenda, a plan of action for ending poverty in all its dimensions, irreversibly, everywhere, and leaving no one behind,” said Ban Ki-moon, the UN secretary general in September, as the sustainable development goals (SDGs) were finally agreed.
But now the real work begins. The world has got 15 years to achieve an achingly ambitious set of goals, and we’re going to need to work together in order to do it. The Global Development Professionals Network is going to host a series of events in 2016 to bring together the idealists, the realists, the innovators and the pragmatists to try and pick out what is working, what might work and how on earth we go about this mammoth task.
To help us ensure we address the right issues at these events, we’d like to see how you are implementing the goals, and who you are working with on this new development agenda. Help us build a picture of what’s going on where you are by taking our survey. The survey takes roughly five minutes to complete and respondents of all completed surveys will be eligible for free early bird sign-up to the events next year - dates and locations to be announced.
The survey will close at midnight on Friday 8th January.
If you have any questions about the survey, please email globaldevpros@theguardian.com.
