Leonardo Cubillos Turriago

“A post-2015 world should have more engagement of

people, inclusivity, transparency, and

accountability.

Emerging governance models also provide

opportunities for far greater citizen participation,

influence and intersectoral action.

Civil society and community dimensions of

“country ownership” are vital for both strong

policy development and for holding all

stakeholders accountable for progress.”
