While consensus reportedly emerged around the importance of a functioning review framework, differences remained between countries over the terminology, degree of centralisation, and the relationship between the monitoring of the post-2015 agenda as a whole and the outcome from parallel UN talks on development financing.

The co-facilitators of the post-2015 talks – David Donoghue, Permanent Representative of Ireland and Macharia Kamau, Permanent Representative of Kenya – had released a discussion paper earlier in May outlining key elements on follow-up and review that have emerged in post-2015 talks to date.

The new development agenda is due to be adopted by world leaders at a summit scheduled to be held in New York in September.
