Global Board Meeting 19-3-2015

Reflections

Emad:

  • Make strong connections with other post-2015 frameworks
  • We are ready to start

Adessou

  • Great opportunity

Rod

  • Underwhelming at political level – shows why we as a network fundamentally important to keep pushing voices that have not been heard.
  • Let us become leaders

Nicole

  • Disappointed at political
  • Become more of a convener face to face – shame the People’s Pavlion was far from the central

Graciela

  • More space at local level for us
  • Great work in communications and dissemination

Harjeet

  • Came with high expectations with the political negotiations. We have opened many new areas and linkages, we have to take this back.

Bruno

  • Reflection on Geneva Global Platform, events not attended as well as hoped. How can we learn from this?

Lorna

  • Saw GNDR took on a high, visible profile for local communities.
  • Looking to move forward with regional meetings post Sendai.

Lucy

  • Managed to reach a large number of people, a great team effort.
  • Became a great point of information – can we systemise this as bridge builders.
  • Were we doing too much?

Terry

  • We started conversations in the side events.
  • Communicate effectively, learn effectively across scales.

Peter

  • Great to be part of this team – commitment.
  • Some interesting conversations showing weak links, how can we strengthen these areas?

Ali

  • GNDR very visible, especially with the Global Board members as dedicated messengers.
  • Will be sharing with WHO and Public Health sector.
  • Feel the new framework is an improvement on HFA1.
  • Let’s have a key action plan of how to move forward.

Rex

  • Reflect on how GNDR can utilise different actors around the word

Oenone

  • Although the focus on negotiations was consuming, we were attritional with messaging.
  • Let’s ingrain other networks into GNDR – there is great value there.
  • How do we maximise ourselves with the resources we have.

Kheswar

  • Framework has finished, let’s think about the work with communities. What are we going to do in the future?

Jose

  • Good visibility of GNDR
  • Participation of community, let’s take advantage of their knowledge so they are actors of their own development

Suranjana

  • We have achieved a lot from 15 years ago. A different type of politics.
  • Civil society has worked consistently and is now being recognised for this work.

Farah

  • Impressed with voluntary organisation of our members
  • Framework cannot be anything but political
  • Disappointed that the People’s Pavilion was not a more dynamic space.
  • How do we make the framework work for us, as a network?
  • Looking forward to learning more

Mave

  • GNDR positive – we are connected.
  • How do we translate this work into the communities

Stu

  • Over 2000 civil society members at the conference, we made some great links as a network. Import to foster these partnerships.
