Friends of ISTAR is seeking consultative status at the United Nations to discuss the role of public-private partnerships in implementing post-2015 development goals. On April 8, 2014, Friends of ISTAR gave a presentation in the ECOSOC Chamber at the United Nations on how public-private partnerships can help achieve future global development objectives. The presentation focused on how collaborations between governments, businesses, and non-profits can support the United Nations' work toward establishing new worldwide development targets after 2015.
