Hey and welcome,
We've started this group to be an online interactive forum for Global Civil Society Coordination on the SDGs after September 2015. This page is open to all members of civil society from all parts of the world. We hope that this group will be a useful tool to help us continue having these conversations online and discuss together in a simple and interactive way. Feel free to invite colleagues and friends to join us!
It would be lovely to have you introduce yourselves in the comments below (name, organisation, country and maybe a reason why you are joining these conversations)!
A few tips to make using Loomio a better experience:
- Create your own user by clicking 'new to Loomio and completing the registration process -Add a profile picture. It's more fun like that and helps us know who we are communicating with.
- Set your user settings. Click 'email' in the top right corner and choose the settings for notification and level of privacy that fits you best (this can be modified later on).
One last thing to note: if you want to discuss something potentially sensitive that shouldn’t be public, you can choose the setting ‘Private: The discussion will only be visible to members of Group Coordinators’ when you start a discussion.
If you need help with getting your Loomio profile started, just click 'contact us' in the top right corner to get in contact with the staff at Loomio.

Coordinator Tue 4 Aug 2015 8:04AM
Hey everyone, I am so excited to see that so many of you have joined our loomio webpage in the past week.
I'm Hanna Hansson a Swedish national working for Concord Sweden and CIVICUS. I am co-facilitating these conversations about how civil society can come together across borders and constituencies and work together on the SDGs over the next 15 years. I am doing this because I am convinced that we can reach so much higher and get a stronger voice when we work together.
I am curious to hear about who you all are all why you decided to join this group! Please share your story below.
In Solidarity

Les défis du développement durable nous interpellent tous .Je suis ravi de rencontrer une équipe solide pour le partage des discussions en faveur de l'atteinte des Objectifs avant fin 2030.Comme suggestion: la lutte avec énergie contre la corruption est une priorité pour les pays en situation de fragilité qu'il serait envisageable de faire baisser le taux avant toute mise en oeuvre des projets -solutions . Merci de soutenir cette suggestion Honourable Hanna Hansson and Mwangi Waituru.
