Following civil society’s participation to the 4^th High Level Forum in Busan and key role in shaping the outcome agreement, the 2 global CSO processes involved in aid effectiveness were mobilized to better respond to the emergent development agenda. Over the past year, Open Forum and Better Aid facilitated CSO consultations worldwide regarding the mandate and structure of new and unified global platform for civil society. This process is coming to a conclusion this December 2012, when the Global Facilitation Groups of Open Forum and Better Aid will meet in Nairobi, Kenya, to finalize the new civil society strategy and working arrangements in the post-Busan reality.
