Imphal Consultation on SDG 16 at Manipur Univeristy
Date : 23rd March 2016
INVITATION
Dear Friends,
The United Nations General Assembly has recently adopted the Sustainable
Development Goals (SDG) to guide the global development agenda from 2015 to
2030. Goal 16 of the SDG is to:
o Promote peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development,
o Provide access to justice for all, and
o Build effective, accountable and inclusive institutions at all levels.
Wada na todo Abhiyan (which is a platform of civil society groups in India working for
governance accountability) in an effort to popularize Goal 16 amongst the civil
society is organizing a series of consultations.
The consultation of the North East region is organized in collaboration with the
Department of Economics, Manipur University at the following coordinates:
Date: 23 March 2016
Time: 10.00 AM to 5.00 P.M.
Venue: Court Room, A-Block, Manipur University, Canchipur
For the North East region which has been historically isolated, lagging behind in all
fronts of development, chronically plagued with armed conflicts and currently facing
the challenges of globalization, the new SDG frame work would well be, as stated by
Ban Ki-moon, "the path way to the future we want".
In recognition of your expertise on the subject, you are cordially invited to contribute
in developing a SDG Goal 16 follow-up plan for the civil society of the region by
participating in the consultation.
Looking forward to your positive response.
Thanking you in anticipation.
Prof. Amar Yumnam
Head Anchor
