Platform HD 2010: Civic Engagement

Led by the Civil Society Unit of UNDP in collaboration with the United Nations Millennium Campaign, this programme sought to strengthen citizen and civil society participation in human development and multilateralism, ensuring greater voice and accountability in policies and practices related to the achievement of the MDGs.

To this end, United Nations Resident Coordinators in six developing countries launched initiatives to strengthen participation in planning, implementing and monitoring the MDGs and national development priorities, working closely with the UN Millennium Campaign. These countries were also part of the wider effort of Platform HD2010 at regional and global levels to channel southern civil society voices to the emerging vision of the new multilateralism. Together, the experiences under the two components informed a series of regional and global consultations to mark the 10-year review of the Millennium Declaration and the 20th anniversary of Human Development Report in 2010.
