A regional capacity building workshop that will inform civil society from Latin America and the Caribbean on the post-2015 development agenda negotiations and the High-level Political Forum on sustainable development (HLPF) and provide guidance on how to engage in these processes will take place in Santiago, Chile on 4 May 2015.

The workshop aims to provide the civil society representatives with the tools and knowledge to engage effectively with the processes that will determine the future sustainable development agenda.

To facilitate participation in this capacity building session, limited funding is available for a select number of participants from the Latin American and Caribbean region. The application deadline for such funding is Sunday, April 12 at 11:59 p.m. (EST).

Decisions on funded participants will be made jointly by the organisers of the workshop, the Economic and Social Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) and DESA DSD, while ensuring regional, gender and constituency balance.

The workshop will take place in the margins of the First Meeting of the Negotiating Committee on Principle 10, which will also be open for civil society participation.
