Newsletter September 2015

Dear readers,

In this month's CIB Newsletter we pay special attention to recent events, including the adoption of the adopted Sustainable Development Goals and last month's Global Partnership for Effective Development Cooperation (GPEFD) steering committee meeting in Mexico City.

In other news this month: the formation of policy units in the run-up to Habitat III and new EP-NUFFIC fellowships. Also, there are several upcoming events in the coming months, so do not forget to look at the calendar section.

Sharing information on upcoming programmes, past experiences, and other areas of interest has always been an important topic at CIB meetings, so we encourage all members to keep everyone updated by including your news in our monthly Newsletter. You can do this by contacting the CIB Working Group Secretariat.

Looking forward to seeing some of you in The Hague later this week . In case you are not able to attend the meeting, be sure to follow us on Twitter (@UCLG_CIB or by searching for the events' hashtag: #CIBmeets)

Happy reading for now!
