killers

MOST IMPORTANT

power and really start to trust the

14. Leonardo Cubillos Turriago
“A post-2015 world should have more engagement of
people, inclusivity, transparency, and
accountability.
Emerging governance models also provide
opportunities for far greater citizen participation,
influence and intersectoral action.
Civil society and community dimensions of
“country ownership” are vital for both strong
policy development and for holding all
stakeholders accountable for progress.”
