High Level Multi-stakeholder Dialogues

Each High Level Multi-stakeholder Partnership Dialogue  provided an opportunity for interactive discussions on key priorities, commitments and actions in support of the post-2015 framework for disaster risk reduction, as it related to each topic. The emphasis was on dialogue with partners in the room with some scene setting from key note speakers and panellists.

There was no list of speakers, however customary protocol was observed. Speakers requested the floor from their seats. Interventions were encouraged not to exceed three minutes. NGOs and other major group organizations spoke under the name plate of their major group.
