Inter-agency Task Force
The Task Force published its inaugural report in March 2016. The report maps out the commitments and actions in the Addis Agenda and presents the monitoring framework and data sources that will allow for annual assessments of progress. The FfD Forum welcomed the recommendations of the Report and mandated future Task Force reports to contain: i) a discussion of the global context and its implications; ii) an overview of each chapter of the Addis Agenda, while covering the broader set of commitments in an on-line annex; and iii) analyses of thematic issues.
Members of the Task Force prepared Issue Briefs on clusters of commitments and actions identified in the inaugural Task Force report. These Issue briefs represent the views of the authoring institution(s) only. They provide an initial assessment of the status of implementation of FfD commitments and will be an input for the Task Force’s analytical work in preparation for the 2017 report.
An HLPF Side Event on “Monitoring progress on the means of implementation of the 2030 Agenda” on Tuesday 12 July 2016 at 1:15 – 2:30 pm (CR6, CB) will present the inaugural report of the Task Force and the Issue Briefs.. The event will also preview the Task Force’s work programme for 2017, and seek feedback from Member States, CSOs, and other relevant stakeholders.
