On 20-21 October 2014, the Royal Government of Cambodia and the Government of the Republic of Korea, in partnership with the co-leading United Nations entities - UN Population Fund (UNFPA), the UN Volunteers (UNV) programme, UN Non-governmental Liaison Service (UN-NGLS), UN Millennium Campaign (UNMC), UN Post-2015 Secretariat, and the Cambodia UN Country Team (UNCT) - co-hosted a high-level global meeting in Siem Reap, Cambodia to conclude the UN Development Group (UNDG) post-2015 dialogues on “Partnerships with Civil Society.”1 The objective of this meeting was to discuss strategies for advancing the key recommendations that emerged from eight national consultations and an e-discussion conducted for the dialogues on post-2015 partnerships with civil society.

The Member States that conducted national dialogues were: Azerbaijan, Cambodia, Colombia, Indonesia, Jordan, Lesotho, Tunisia, and St. Lucia. The global meeting was attended by 83 participants from these nations and from the Republic of Korea - including from government, civil society, academia and UN country offices - as well as from the co-hosting UN entities. Dialogue between governments, civil society and the UN led to the refinement of recommendations on how civil society can continue to inform the elaboration of the global post-2015 development agenda, be engaged in its implementation, and enhance national policy formulation.

This summary report presents the key findings of the 1.5 day meeting. This report together with a consultation summary report from August 2014 will inform the intergovernmental negotiations on the post-2015 development agenda.
