• Ali Shahbaz to speak at UN PGA's high-level thematic debate

Member of the Southern Voice network, Mr Ali Shahbaz, Sustainable Development Policy Institute – Pakistan, was selected by the President of the UN General Assembly to serve as a panelist in the discussion on “Galvanizing support of regional and subregional organizations for the implementation of a transformative post-2015 development agenda” in the high-level thematic debate on Strengthening Cooperation between the UN & Regional & Sub-regional Organizations. The debate took place on 4 May 2015 at United Nations Headquarters in New York.

Shahbaz, who is the Youth Ambassador of Sustainable Development Policy Institute (SDPI) – Pakistan, stressed that the Post-2015 agenda is more of a mass consciousness rather than a development framework, and that it would involve the participation of all stakeholder groups to ensure success.
