The Governments of Denmark, The Netherlands, Peru, Rwanda, Switzerland and Trinidad and Tobago co-sponsored this seventh retreat, which included participants from 32 member states, UN and World Bank representatives, members of IRF2015 and other independent experts.1 The meeting addressed the theme of “Towards Accountability for Results: Building an Integrated Monitoring and Review Framework for the Post-2015 Sustainable Development Agenda”.
