“...We believe that ending hunger and malnutrition should remain at the heart of the Sustainable Development Goals – that ending hunger and malnutrition are prerequisites for sustainable and sustained economic development, reducing preventable deaths, better health, more and better education, women’s empowerment, and efficient and effective natural resource stewardship, environmental wellbeing, resilience, peace and security.”

– José Graziano da Silva, FAO Director-General (speech delivered by Maria Helena Semedo,

FAO Deputy Director-General for Natural Resources at the 3rd OWG on SDGs in May 2013)









Welcome to Post-2015, FAO’s e-bulletin on the process to craft a successor framework to the Millennium Development Goals. With just over two years to go before the MDGs’ target date, we aim to keep you informed and engaged in our Organization’s contributions to the post-2015 Development Agenda. In this first issue, we look ahead to the next sessions of the Open Working Group (OWG) on Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in New York, review post-2015-related conversations at the 40th session of the Committee on World Food Security (CFS) in Rome in October, and review FAO’s 14 themes in support of the OWG.

–  Jomo Kwame Sundaram, FAO Assistant Director-General

(Coordinator for Economic and Social Development) and FAO lead for Post-2015

The second activity phase of the OWG, which was launched by UN member states at Rio+20 and described by former UNGA President Vuk Jeremić as “the single-most important element of the post-2015 agenda”, follows a series of reports on the post-2015 process, most notably the outcome document<http://www.un.org/millenniumgoals/pdf/Outcome%20documentMDG.pdf> adopted at a Special Event on the MDGs at the UN General Assembly on 25  September, the Report of the High-Level Panel of Eminent Persons<http://www.post2015hlp.org/the-report/>, and “A Million Voices: The World We Want<http://www.worldwewant2015.org/bitcache/9158d79561a9de6b34f95568ce8b389989412f16?vid=422422&disposition=inline&op=view> the UNDG’s synthesis report of the 11 global thematic consultations and public surveys that had engaged more than 1.3 million people.
