    "content": " Hon. Senators, this is to notify you that the Second High Level Meeting (HLM2) of the Global Partnership towards inclusive and accelerated implementation of the 2030 Agenda is taking place in Nairobi, Kenya, since Monday 28th November and is scheduled to end on 1st December, 2016. The Global Partnership for Effective Development Co-operation (GPEDC) is an inclusive multi-stakeholder partnership and brings together the full range of development factors to ensure that finance, knowledge and policy have maximum impact on development results. Through multi-stakeholder platform, the global partnership provides practical support and guidance and shares knowledge to boost development impact with a strong country focus to implement internationally agreed effectiveness principles at country level. Hon. Senators, the global partnership tracks progress in the implementation of Busan commitments for more effective development co-operation through its monitoring framework, comprising a set of ten indicators which focus on strengthening, developing country institutions, increasing transparency and predictability of development co- operation and enhancing gender equality as well as supporting greater involvement of the civil society, parliaments and private sector in development efforts. The monitoring framework is currently being refined to fully reflect the 2030 Agenda and will contribute to the review of targets for Sustainable Development Goals (SGDs) Nos.5 and 17 and implementation of the financing for development agreements. The HLM2 aims to amplify the positive impact of development co-operation over the next 15 years. Hon Senators, to strengthen the voice of parliaments at the HLM2, the Parliament of Kenya, the Inter-parliamentary Union (IPU) and the Association of European Parliamentarians with Africa (AWEPA) have organized a parliamentary forum today, 29th November, 2016. This meeting is expected to adopt a parliamentary statement to be shared at the HLM2 that will build on the conclusions of a similar forum during the first HLM. The Speaker of the Senate had the opportunity to grace the official opening of the session this morning at the Kenya International Convention Centre (KICC), where the Parliament of Kenya was also ably represented. I want to sincerely thank and commend the Senators and Members of the National Assembly who participated at the forum. I thank you. Proceed, Sen. Mugo."
