Moderators' message: In order to follow the 2015 ECOSOC e-discussion on "Managing the transition from the Millennium Development Goals to the sustainable development goals: What it will take", please access:https://www.unteamworks.org/amr2015

Dear colleagues,

We are pleased to invite you to participate in an electronic discussion (e-discussion) to be held from 17 February to 17 March 2015, coordinated and organized by the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (DESA) and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP).

The purpose of the e-discussion is to engage stakeholder groups, experts, practitioners and policy-makers from various regions in a global dialogue on specific aspects of the 2015 ECOSOC theme of "Managing the transition from the Millennium Development Goals to the sustainable development goals: What it will take".

The 2015 e-discussion is expected to provide ECOSOC with concrete ideas and proposals for defining the steps required for the successful transition from the MDGs to the SDGS. The discussion will focus on policy choices and mindset change for an integrated agenda, adaptation by institutions and structures, partnerships for the implementation of the SDGs and the post- 2015 agenda and monitoring and review.

The e-discussion provides a unique opportunity for the wider development community to formulate critical policy messages and recommendations for ECOSOC. Contributions made by e-discussion participants will be included in a summary of the e-discussion posted on the ECOSOC website. The contributions will also be channeled through the report of the Secretary-General on the ECOSOC theme in support of the Council's deliberations on the theme during its high-level segment in July, leading to the adoption of the Council's 2015 Ministerial Declaration.

We hope you will join us for the e-discussion in February and encourage you to forward this invitation to colleagues. Participants may join the e-discussion at https://www.unteamworks.org/amr2015 Members of the UNDG's MDG-Net, UNDP Poverty Reduction Network, Gender and Human Development Report Networks will also receive updates on the progress of the discussion.

Yours sincerely,
