The first intergovernmental session on the post-2015 development agenda took place earlier this week at UN Headquarters in New York. Under the theme "stocktaking", Member States were invited to provide their reflections on the post-2015 process so far, and lay broad expectations for the process ahead and for the entire post-2015 agenda, including the proposed sustainable development goals and targets.

A joint statement on health was delivered on Wednesday, during the interactive session. The NCD Alliance contributed to endorse this statement, which can be read here.
