Bringing Ground Level Experiences to the post-2015 Global Development Process

Abstract

The Participate Ground Level Panels created a space for people living in poverty and marginalisation to deliberate what is needed from the post-2015 global policy process. These panels gave a unique insight into how development is experienced, what needs to change, and how change must happen if it is to be sustainable. The Ground Level Panels took place in Egypt, Brazil, Uganda and India.

This report is a synthesis of the proposals outlined by the Participate Ground Level Panels, in order to understand the global patterns and dissonances in their proposals. It draws upon the outcome documents from the panels which present recommendations for what is needed in global development policy to end poverty.
