Development Agenda.
The High Level Panel will hold its fourth consultative meeting in Bali, Indonesia from 25 to

Oct – 1 Nov 2012) and most recently at Monrovia (30 Jan – 2 Feb 2013).
Each meeting of the HLP has included events aimed at enabling a structured dialogue
between the HLP members and key stakeholder groups, including civil society, academic
institutions, national and local elected representatives and the business community.
In addition to this, an open consultation on the Framing Questions developed by the
Panel was facilitated ahead of the Third HLP Meeting held in Monrovia, Liberia to enable a
large number of civil society and stakeholder inputs to the substantive deliberations of the
HLP.
